"Portrait of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex" is a miniature painting by the renowned English portrait miniaturist Isaac Oliver, who was active during the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods. This artwork captures one of the most enigmatic and influential courtiers of Queen Elizabeth I's reign, Robert Devereux (1565–1601), who was a favorite of the queen and later became a leader of the failed Essex Rebellion.

The miniature is executed in watercolor on vellum, a common medium for portrait miniatures of this era, which were prized for their delicacy and intimacy. Oliver's work is characterized by its meticulous detail and the subtle rendering of his subjects' features, which is evident in this portrait of the Earl of Essex. The painting likely dates from the late 16th or early 17th century, a period that saw the Earl's dramatic rise and fall from grace.

In the portrait, Devereux is depicted with the refined elegance befitting a nobleman of his stature. His attire and the accessories he wears would have been carefully chosen to convey his status and the image he wished to project at court. The miniature would have served as a personal keepsake or a diplomatic gift, reflecting the intimate nature of portrait miniatures as tokens of favor and affection among the elite.

Isaac Oliver's "Portrait of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex" is an important work within the canon of Elizabethan portraiture, offering insight into the artistry of miniature painting and the complex web of politics and personality at the Elizabethan court. The portrait is not only a testament to Oliver's skill as an artist but also a poignant reminder of the Earl's tumultuous life and his ultimate tragic destiny.
