"Portrait of Edmund Quincy" is an early 18th-century oil painting by the Scottish-American artist John Smibert (1688–1751). The painting is a significant work from Smibert's American period, showcasing his skill in portraiture and his influence on colonial American art. John Smibert, known for his role in bringing European painting styles to the American colonies, painted this portrait during his time in Boston, Massachusetts, where he settled after initially intending to establish an art academy in Bermuda as part of Bishop Berkeley's failed plan to create a center for learning in the New World.

The subject of the portrait, Edmund Quincy (1681–1738), was a prominent figure in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, serving as a colonel and a justice of the peace. He was also the father of Dorothy Quincy, who married John Hancock, a notable figure in the American Revolution. The Quincy family was one of the leading families in colonial Massachusetts, and their patronage of Smibert reflects their status and the importance of portraiture as a means of asserting social position and legacy.

In the "Portrait of Edmund Quincy," Smibert captures the dignity and stature of his sitter, employing a refined technique that reflects his training under distinguished European masters. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of Quincy's attire and the naturalistic depiction of his features. Smibert's use of light and shadow, as well as the composition of the portrait, exemplifies the baroque influence on his work, while also incorporating elements that would come to define the emerging American portrait style.

The painting is not only an important work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing insight into the cultural and social milieu of colonial America. "Portrait of Edmund Quincy" remains an enduring testament to John Smibert's legacy as a pioneer of American portraiture and an influential figure in the early art history of the United States. The portrait is held in a public collection, allowing for continued appreciation and study of Smibert's contribution to American art.
