"Portrait of a Woman aged 16, previously identified as Mary Fitzalan, Duchess of Norfolk," is an oil painting by the Netherlandish artist Hans Eworth, created in 1565 during his time in England. This portrait is a significant example of Eworth's work, who was among the prominent portrait painters in Tudor England, especially after the death of Hans Holbein the Younger. The painting is notable for its detailed depiction of the sitter, a young woman of sixteen, as indicated by the inscription on the top left corner of the painting, which reads "Ano Dñi 1565 Aetatis Suae 16" (In the year of our Lord 1565, at her age of 16).

For many years, the subject of the portrait was believed to be Mary Fitzalan, Duchess of Norfolk, based on the sitter's aristocratic attire and the heraldic symbols present in the painting. However, subsequent research and scholarship have cast doubt on this identification, and the true identity of the young woman remains a subject of debate among art historians. The painting is characterized by Eworth's meticulous attention to the textures and fabrics of the sitter's clothing, as well as the intricate jewelry and adornments that reflect her social status.

The portrait is a valuable document of the fashion and aesthetics of the Elizabethan era, showcasing the elaborate dress and ruff that were popular among the English nobility. Eworth's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters has contributed to the enduring interest in his work. The painting is also an important piece for the study of female portraiture in the 16th century, offering insights into the representation of women and the conventions of beauty during the period.

"Portrait of a Woman aged 16" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Hans Eworth's contribution to Tudor portraiture and the broader context of Renaissance art in England.
