"Portrait of Louise Renée de Penancoët de Kéroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth and Aubigny" is a 17th-century oil painting by the French artist Henri Gascar (also known as Gascard). The portrait depicts Louise de Kéroualle (1649–1734), who was a mistress of King Charles II of England and the mother of Charles Lennox, the 1st Duke of Richmond. She was also known by her titles as Duchess of Portsmouth and Duchess of Aubigny, which were granted to her by Charles II as a recognition of her position at the court and her influence.

Henri Gascar, a portrait painter of the Baroque era, was known for his works that captured the opulence and grandeur of the European courts. In this portrait, Gascar portrays the Duchess in a sumptuous dress, adorned with pearls and luxurious fabrics, reflecting her status and the fashion of the time. The painting is notable for its detailed rendering of textures and the use of light to accentuate the Duchess's features and the richness of her attire.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context. Louise de Kéroualle was a controversial figure in English history, often viewed with suspicion and jealousy due to her French origins and her influence over the king, which she was believed to use to promote French interests in England. Her relationship with Charles II and her subsequent wealth and titles made her a subject of much gossip and satire during and after her time at the court.

The painting is an example of the court portraiture of the period, serving both as a work of art and as a document of the political and social dynamics of the Restoration court. It captures the allure and the complexity of a woman who navigated the treacherous waters of royal favor and international politics. The "Portrait of Louise Renée de Penancoët de Kéroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth and Aubigny" remains an important work for scholars interested in the art, history, and cultural dynamics of the late 17th century.
