"Lady Drummond Smith" is a portrait painting by the Irish artist Martin Archer Shee (1769–1850), who was a prominent portrait painter in England and the second president of the Royal Academy in London. The painting is a representation of Lady Drummond Smith, née Anne Judith St. John-Mildmay, the wife of Sir John Drummond Smith, a wealthy East India merchant and banker. The artwork is an example of Shee's portraiture style, which was known for its elegance and the ability to capture the character and social standing of his sitters.

The portrait is characteristic of the Regency era, a period that is often noted for its distinctive cultural achievements and the patronage of the arts. In this work, Shee's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the delicate features of his subject is evident. The painting likely served to commemorate Lady Drummond Smith's status and position within society, as was customary for portraits of the time.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is assumed to have been painted during the height of Shee's career, when he was a sought-after portraitist among the British aristocracy. The painting's current location, ownership, and exhibition history are not specified in widely available sources, and further research would be required to provide a complete provenance and critical reception of the work.

As with many historical artworks, the significance of "Lady Drummond Smith" lies not only in its aesthetic qualities but also in its ability to provide insights into the social history and cultural context of the period in which it was created. Martin Archer Shee's portraits are considered important records of the British elite of his time, and "Lady Drummond Smith" contributes to this legacy.
