''Portrait of Anne of Cleves'' is a painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, completed around 1539. The portrait is one of the most famous works by Holbein and is notable for its role in the history of England's Tudor dynasty. Anne of Cleves (1515–1557) was a German noblewoman and the fourth wife of King Henry VIII. Her marriage to the English king was arranged on the basis of diplomatic considerations and the portrait played a crucial role in the negotiations.

Holbein, who served as King Henry VIII's court painter, was dispatched to the Continent to create portraits of Anne and her younger sister, Amalia, as potential brides for the king. The resulting portrait of Anne is characterized by the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the sitter's appearance and character. Holbein's portrayal of Anne is both flattering and idealized, which was typical of royal portraiture of the era.

The painting is a half-length portrait, showing Anne adorned in rich clothing and jewelry, indicative of her noble status. Holbein's skill in rendering textures and materials is evident in the depiction of her garments and accessories. The portrait's influence on the course of history is significant; upon seeing it, Henry VIII consented to the marriage. However, upon meeting Anne in person, he was reportedly disappointed, leading to the annulment of their marriage just six months later.

The ''Portrait of Anne of Cleves'' is an important example of 16th-century portraiture and provides insight into the political and personal dynamics of the Tudor court. While the exact location of the original painting is unknown, several copies and versions from the period exist, attesting to the portrait's historical significance and the impact of Holbein's work on the visual culture of his time.
