"Miss Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth" is an iconic 1889 oil painting by the American artist John Singer Sargent, depicting the famous English actress Ellen Terry in her role as Lady Macbeth. At the time, Terry was one of the most celebrated Shakespearean performers, and her portrayal of Lady Macbeth was particularly acclaimed. Sargent, known for his brilliant portraiture, captures Terry in a dramatic and commanding pose, reflective of her character's ambitious and powerful nature in Shakespeare's tragedy "Macbeth."

The painting was commissioned by Henry Irving, the manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, where Terry performed. It was first exhibited at the New Gallery in London in 1889 and immediately drew attention for its striking use of color and light, as well as its psychological depth. Terry is depicted in a sumptuous green and blue costume, designed by Alice Comyns Carr, which was itself inspired by the Celtic Queen Gruoch, the historical figure upon whom the character of Lady Macbeth is loosely based. The shimmering dress, adorned with iridescent beetle wings, not only emphasizes Terry's regal bearing but also serves to enhance the ethereal and otherworldly quality of the painting.

Sargent's work is notable for its blend of realism and impressionistic touches, seen in the loose brushwork and the play of light across the fabric of Terry's gown. The actress's commanding presence is conveyed through her direct gaze and the strong, almost sculptural rendering of her features. The painting is a testament to Sargent's skill in portraiture, as well as to the cultural significance of theatrical performance in the late 19th century.

"Miss Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth" is considered one of Sargent's masterpieces and remains an important work in the study of both fine art and theatrical history. It is held in the collection of the Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical resonance.
