"Portrait of Lady Mary Guildford" is a renowned painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, completed in 1527. Holbein, celebrated for his detailed and realistic portraiture, was one of the most accomplished portraitists of the 16th century. This particular work is a testament to his skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters, as well as his mastery of the oil painting medium.

The subject of the painting, Lady Mary Guildford, née Wotton, was a lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII of England. Lady Mary was the sister of Sir Henry Wotton and the wife of Sir Henry Guildford, who was the Controller of the King's Household and a close friend of Henry VIII. The portrait likely commemorates her status at court and her marriage to Guildford.

In this half-length portrait, Lady Mary is depicted with an elegant poise, wearing a sumptuous gown with fur trim and a French hood, both fashionable in the Tudor court at the time. Holbein's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of her clothing, jewelry, and the fine textures of the materials. The sitter's expression is serene, and her gaze is direct, suggesting a sense of confidence and grace.

The painting is notable for its exquisite use of color and light, as well as the psychological depth Holbein imparts to his subject. The background is subdued, allowing the viewer to focus on the figure and her attire. The work is a fine example of Holbein's portraiture during his time in England, where he served as a court painter to Henry VIII, producing images of various members of the royal court and the English nobility.

"Portrait of Lady Mary Guildford" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, offering insight into the fashion, culture, and individuals of the Tudor court. The painting is part of the collection of the St. Louis Art Museum in Missouri, United States, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
