"Portrait of Lady Mary Guildford" is an oil painting by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, created circa 1527. The painting is a half-length portrait of Lady Mary Wotton, who was the wife of Sir Henry Guildford, a courtier and close friend of King Henry VIII of England. Holbein, who became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century, was renowned for his ability to capture the character and elegance of his sitters with exceptional detail and realism.

The portrait is a testament to Holbein's mastery of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by its meticulous attention to the textures of fabrics and jewels, as well as the lifelike representation of the human figure. Lady Mary Guildford is depicted wearing a richly embroidered gown with fur trim, a French hood, and an elaborate girdle, reflecting her high social status and the fashion of the Tudor court. Her expression is serene and contemplative, which, combined with her direct gaze, creates an intimate connection with the viewer.

The work is notable for its sophisticated use of color and light, as well as the detailed rendering of the textures and materials, which include the fine goldwork of Lady Mary's headdress and the intricate patterns of her dress. The portrait also features a background of a deep green curtain, which serves to highlight the figure and adds depth to the composition.

"Portrait of Lady Mary Guildford" is considered an important work in Holbein's oeuvre and a fine example of Tudor portraiture. It provides insight into the cultural and social milieu of the English court during the reign of Henry VIII, as well as the artistic trends that influenced European portraiture during the period. The painting is held in the collection of the St. Louis Art Museum in Missouri, United States, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic excellence.
