"Marcia Burnes Van Ness" is an oil on canvas portrait by the renowned American painter Gilbert Stuart, depicting Mrs. Marcia Burnes Van Ness, a prominent social figure and philanthropist in early 19th-century Washington, D.C. Painted circa 1805, this work is one of the many portraits for which Stuart is best known, alongside his famous depictions of George Washington. Marcia Van Ness was the wife of John Peter Van Ness, a banker, and later a U.S. Congressman and the Mayor of Washington, D.C.

The portrait is characteristic of Stuart's style, showcasing his skill in capturing the grace and elegance of his sitters, as well as his ability to render the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of flesh tones. In this painting, Mrs. Van Ness is portrayed in a refined, yet relaxed pose, which was typical of Stuart's approach to portraiture. Her expression conveys a sense of calm dignity, reflecting her status as a respected member of society and her involvement in various charitable activities.

As with many of Stuart's portraits, "Marcia Burnes Van Ness" not only serves as a testament to the artist's technical prowess but also provides a window into the social and cultural milieu of the Federal period in American history. The painting is an important piece in the oeuvre of Gilbert Stuart and contributes to the understanding of the artistic and societal landscape of the early United States.

The portrait is held in a public or private collection, and it has been displayed in various art exhibitions over the years. It continues to be studied by art historians and scholars for its artistic merit and as a historical document of a significant period in American history.
