"Portrait of a Gentleman Erroneously Identified as Richard Cumberland" is an 18th-century oil painting by the English portrait painter George Romney. The artwork, which dates from the late 1770s, is a study of an unknown male subject who was once mistakenly thought to be Richard Cumberland, a noted English dramatist and civil servant of the period. The misidentification of the sitter reflects the challenges of art historical scholarship, particularly in the accurate identification of subjects from past centuries.

George Romney (1734–1802) was a contemporary of Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough and was known for his portraits of society figures, including many literary and artistic personalities of his day. His style is characterized by a strong sense of elegance and refinement, and his portraits are often noted for their psychological depth and sensitivity to the character of the sitter.

The painting in question exemplifies Romney's skill in capturing the genteel demeanor and fashionable attire of the English upper class. The male figure is depicted with the poise and confidence typical of Romney's best work, dressed in the attire of the period and posed in a manner that suggests both status and intellect. The erroneous identification of the sitter as Richard Cumberland may have been due to a resemblance or a mistaken historical record, and the true identity of the gentleman remains unknown.

The portrait is a testament to Romney's prolific career and his ability to render his subjects with both technical proficiency and a keen insight into their personalities. Despite the initial misattribution, the painting stands as an important work within Romney's oeuvre and offers a window into the social and cultural milieu of late 18th-century England.
