"Portrait of Lady Emma Hamilton as a Penitent Magdalene" is an oil painting by the prominent 18th-century English portraitist George Romney. Created circa 1782-1785, the artwork is a notable example of Romney's fascination with Lady Emma Hamilton, who was one of his favorite subjects and served as his muse for a number of years. Lady Hamilton, born Amy Lyon (1765–1815), was an English model and actress who rose to prominence and notoriety through her beauty and her eventual marriage to Sir William Hamilton, the British Ambassador to Naples.

The painting depicts Lady Hamilton in the guise of Mary Magdalene, a biblical figure often represented in art as a symbol of penitence and redemption. Romney's portrayal is imbued with a sense of romanticism and sensuality, capturing the sitter's alluring beauty while simultaneously alluding to the theme of repentance. Lady Hamilton's pose and expression convey a melancholic introspection, which was a common motif in representations of the Magdalene during the period.

The work is executed with Romney's characteristic softness of modeling and warm palette, emphasizing the tactile quality of the skin and the textures of the fabrics. The choice to represent Lady Hamilton as the Magdalene may reflect contemporary attitudes towards her complex and controversial personal life, as well as the broader 18th-century interest in allegorical and mythological subjects.

"Portrait of Lady Emma Hamilton as a Penitent Magdalene" is considered an important work in George Romney's oeuvre, illustrating his skill in capturing the character and inner life of his sitters. The painting contributes to the understanding of the artist's relationship with Lady Hamilton and offers insight into the social and cultural milieu of late 18th-century Britain. It remains a significant piece for study by art historians and scholars interested in the period's portraiture, gender representation, and the interplay between art and society.
