"A Gentleman, Traditionally Called Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex (1566-1601), Wearing Slashed Black Doublet, White Lawn Collar with Lace Border and Gold Hoop Earring, Blue Background, Gold Border" is a miniature portrait by the renowned English painter Isaac Oliver. The artwork is believed to depict Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex, a prominent and influential courtier during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Devereux was a military leader and a favorite of the queen, although he eventually fell from grace and was executed for treason in 1601.

The miniature, executed in watercolor on vellum, is a testament to Oliver's mastery of the portrait miniature, a genre that flourished during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. The painting showcases the artist's skill in capturing the intricate details of the sitter's attire and features, a hallmark of Oliver's work. The subject is portrayed wearing a fashionable black doublet with slashed sleeves—a style that allowed the rich fabric underneath to show through—complemented by a white lawn collar edged with delicate lace, which was a symbol of status and elegance at the time. The gold hoop earring adds a touch of opulence and may reflect the sitter's adventurous spirit and military prowess.

The blue background and gold border frame the subject, drawing attention to his visage and the finery of his clothing. These elements of the composition serve to emphasize the sitter's nobility and the refined aesthetic of the period.

Isaac Oliver (c. 1565–1617) was one of the most celebrated miniaturists of his time, having trained under Nicholas Hilliard, another famous English portrait artist. Oliver's works are characterized by their exquisite detail and rich colors, and they often provide a window into the lives and fashions of the English court.

This particular portrait is not only a significant piece of art history but also provides insight into the social and political dynamics of the Elizabethan court. The miniature is an important work within Oliver's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
