"Portrait of Lord George Douglas, subsequently Earl of Dumbarton (1635–1692), Half-Length, in a Breastplate with an Embroidered Coat" is a 17th-century oil painting by the French artist Henri Gascars. The artwork captures Lord George Douglas, who later became the Earl of Dumbarton, depicted as a military figure of stature and importance. Born in 1635, George Douglas was a prominent Scottish nobleman and a professional soldier who played a significant role in the Royalist cause during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and later served in the French army under Louis XIV before returning to Britain.

The portrait is notable for its detailed rendering of the subject's attire, particularly the breastplate and the richly embroidered coat, which reflect his high social status and military position. Gascars, known for his portraiture, has skillfully captured the textures of the metal and fabric, as well as the sitter's dignified bearing. The half-length format of the painting was a common choice for portraiture of the era, focusing on the sitter's upper body and face, and often used to convey the personality and social rank of the subject.
