"Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth" is a renowned 1889 oil painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, depicting the famous English actress Dame Ellen Terry (1847–1928) in her role as Lady Macbeth. At the time, Terry was one of the most celebrated Shakespearean performers, and her portrayal of Lady Macbeth at the Lyceum Theatre in London was particularly acclaimed. Sargent, known for his portraits of high society figures, was inspired by Terry's performance and her striking costume, which was designed by Alice Comyns Carr and consisted of a green beetlewing dress that shimmered under the stage lights.

The painting captures Terry in a dramatic pose, with her right hand extended as if she is invoking the dark forces during the sleepwalking scene from Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Her expression conveys a complex mixture of ambition, guilt, and madness that characterizes the character of Lady Macbeth. The use of chiaroscuro in the painting enhances the theatricality of the moment, with the light focusing on her face and hand, while the rest of the figure fades into the dark, ambiguous background.

Sargent's work is celebrated for its technical brilliance and its ability to convey the psychological depth of the character. The painting was first exhibited at the New Gallery in London in 1889 and has since become an iconic image of both Terry and the character she portrayed. It is now housed in the Tate Gallery, London, and remains a significant work in the oeuvre of John Singer Sargent, as well as a testament to the enduring legacy of Ellen Terry's contribution to the performing arts.
