"Portrait of a Lady, Possibly Mary of Modena" is a 17th-century oil painting by the French artist Henri Gascar (also known as Gascard), who was known for his portraiture of European aristocracy. The painting is believed to depict Mary of Modena, who was the queen consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the wife of James II and VII. Born in Italy, Mary of Modena was a member of the Este family and brought an air of continental sophistication to the English court.

The portrait is characteristic of Gascar's style, which often included a rich use of color and detailed rendering of fabrics and textures, reflecting the opulence of the period's fashion. In this work, the subject is portrayed with the elegance and poise befitting a woman of her status. She is typically shown adorned in luxurious garments, with her hair styled in the fashion of the time, and often with a landscape or architectural backdrop that adds depth and context to the composition.

Henri Gascar's career flourished after he moved to England in the 1670s, where he gained the patronage of the royal court and the nobility. His portraits were appreciated for their likeness and artistry, and he became a sought-after portraitist during his time in England. "Portrait of a Lady, Possibly Mary of Modena" is a testament to Gascar's skill in capturing the likeness and the stature of his sitters, and it remains an important work for the study of portraiture in the late 17th century.

The painting's attribution to Mary of Modena, while widely accepted, is not definitively established, and as such, the title of the work reflects this uncertainty. The portrait is part of a larger body of work by Gascar that provides insight into the visual culture and courtly representation of the Restoration period in England. It is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase European portraiture of the Baroque era.
