"Portrait of a Noblewoman, Half-Length, Wearing a Black Dress and an Elaborate Headdress, Said to be Elisabeth de Valois" is a notable work attributed to François Clouet, a prominent French Renaissance painter known for his detailed and refined portraits of the French nobility. This painting, believed to have been created in the mid-16th century, is a striking example of Clouet's mastery in capturing the elegance and sophistication of his subjects. The artwork is often cited for its historical significance and artistic merit, as it is thought to depict Elisabeth de Valois (1545–1568), the third wife of King Philip II of Spain and daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici.

The portrait is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the subject's elaborate headdress and the intricate patterns of her black dress, which reflect the fashion of the French court at the time. Clouet's skill in portraying the textures of fabric and the subtle nuances of the sitter's expression lends the painting a lifelike quality that has been admired for centuries. The identity of the woman as Elisabeth de Valois, while not definitively proven, adds a layer of historical intrigue to the work, linking it to the complex political and familial alliances of 16th-century Europe.

François Clouet, who succeeded his father Jean Clouet as court painter to the French kings, was an influential figure in the transition from the French Renaissance to the Mannerist style. His portraits are valued not only for their artistic excellence but also for their contribution to our understanding of the period's cultural and social contexts. "Portrait of a Noblewoman, Half-Length, Wearing a Black Dress and an Elaborate Headdress, Said to be Elisabeth de Valois" remains a significant piece in the oeuvre of François Clouet, reflecting the height of Renaissance portraiture in France and offering insight into the life and times of the European nobility.
