"Portrait of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), bust-length, in a Gold Doublet and Lace Ruff" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Gerrit van Honthorst. The painting is a fine example of Honthorst's portraiture, which captures the likeness and status of one of the most influential courtiers of King James I of England. George Villiers, the subject of the portrait, rose to become the 1st Duke of Buckingham and was a prominent figure in the English court, known for his patronage of the arts and his political influence during a turbulent period in English history.

The portrait is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, particularly evident in the depiction of the luxurious materials of the Duke's attire. The gold doublet and intricate lace ruff symbolize the wealth and high social standing of the sitter. Honthorst's use of light and shadow, a technique for which he was renowned, brings a sense of depth and realism to the composition. The portrait not only serves as a testament to the Duke's prominence but also showcases Honthorst's skill in capturing the opulence and sophistication of the era's elite.

Gerrit van Honthorst, also known as Gherardo delle Notti for his mastery of chiaroscuro and nocturnal scenes, was a leading figure in the Utrecht Caravaggisti movement, which was heavily influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio. His works are characterized by their dramatic use of lighting and keen observation of human character. The "Portrait of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham" is an important work within Honthorst's oeuvre, reflecting both the artist's stylistic prowess and the cultural milieu of the early 17th century.
