"Portrait of Mary Baylay, née Foster, of Stoke Damerall near Plymouth, Bust-length, in a Lace Dress and Cap, Feigned Oval" is an 18th-century oil painting by the English artist James Northcote (1746–1831). Northcote, a pupil of Sir Joshua Reynolds, was known for his portraits and historical subjects, and he became a member of the Royal Academy in 1787. This particular work exemplifies Northcote's skill in capturing the genteel elegance of his subjects, a characteristic that made him a sought-after portraitist in his time.

The painting depicts Mary Baylay, who hailed from Stoke Damerall, a historical parish near the town of Plymouth in Devon. She is portrayed in a bust-length format, set against a feigned oval background—a painting technique used to create the illusion of a frame or border within the canvas. Mary Baylay is dressed in the fashion of the period, wearing a fine lace dress and cap, which were typical of the attire worn by women of her social standing during the late 18th century.

The portrait is notable for its attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the lace and the softness of the fabric, which showcases Northcote's ability to handle texture and light. The sitter's expression and the directness of her gaze suggest a sense of poise and confidence, while also offering a glimpse into her personality and the social conventions of the time.

As an artwork, "Portrait of Mary Baylay, née Foster, of Stoke Damerall near Plymouth, Bust-length, in a Lace Dress and Cap, Feigned Oval" serves as an important example of Northcote's portraiture and provides insight into the fashion and societal norms of the late 18th-century British gentry.
