"Portrait of a Lady, Said to Be Miss Melville" is a painting credited to John Opie, a seminal figure in the history of British art during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Characterized opulent detail and vivid realism, part and parcel of Opie's signature style, the painting is noted for its eloquent depiction of its subject, Miss Melville.

Opie, who was fondly nicknamed the "Cornish Wonder" for his talents, was renowned for his ability to reproduce colors and textures using oil paint. This skill is prominently on display in "Portrait of a Lady, Said to Be Miss Melville," where the attire, complexion, and tonal subtleties of the sitter are portrayed in an impeccably lifelike manner.

The painting, like many from Opie's oeuvre, skillfully blurs the line between realism and romanticism, resulting in a synthesis of the two styles that stands testament to his unique place in British art. The subject, Miss Melville, is depicted in an elegant yet unostentatious manner, reflecting the dignity and elevated social status that she likely held. The painting, thus, serves as a historical document reflecting the norms and conventions of the period.

The exact date of the painting's creation remains unknown, a common trait amongst many of Opie's works, due to a lack of existing written records. However, some art historians speculate that it belongs to the mature phase of his career, based on its advanced handling of paints and composition.

"Portrait of a Lady, Said to Be Miss Melville" remains a significant work in the study of Opie's art, offering insights not only into the artistic preoccupations of the time but also delivering a rich portrayal of its subject, achieving the artist's goal of capturing the 'real character' of the sitter.
