The "Portrait of Lady Sophia Bulkeley" is a significant work by French painter Henri Gascar (1635–1701). This artwork exemplifies Gascar's celebrated skill in portraiture, showing his aptitude for capturing both physical likeness and the personal character of his subjects. Lady Bulkeley, born Sophia Stuart, was an illustrious figure of her time, renowned for her social status as the wife of Sir Richard Bulkeley, and for her direct Stuart heritage, as the fifth daughter of Esmé Stuart, 3rd Duke of Lennox.

Created in the late 17th-century, this portrait reveals the influence of the Baroque period's grandeur on Gascar's style. It portrays Lady Bulkeley dressed in finely detailed attire with elaborate accessorising, underscoring her noble status. Her pose and gaze are at once assertive and inviting, suggesting a woman of authority yet gentle reserve.

The painting exemplifies Gascar's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the delicate rendering of textiles and adornments. Though not much is recorded about the portrait’s early history, it has nevertheless formed an integral part of Gascar's body of work, attesting to his significant impact on the European art scene during the Baroque period.

While the "Portrait of Lady Sophia Bulkeley" continues to contribute to the appreciation of Henri Gascar's work within the global art community, it is also a valuable historical record. The painting provides insight into the culture and fashion of the time, as well as the societal norms and expectations of the aristocracy. Notable today for both its technical mastery and historical significance, the portrait remains an enduring testament to the legacy of Henri Gascar's artistry, and the life and time of Lady Sophia Bulkeley.
