"Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, in a Blue Dress, in a Feigned Oval" is a 17th-century oil painting by Mary Beale, one of the most prominent female English portrait painters of her time. The painting is notable for its depiction of an unidentified woman dressed in a blue gown, captured within a trompe-l'œil, or 'trick of the eye', oval frame. This artistic technique creates an illusion of three-dimensionality, adding depth and realism to the portrait.

Mary Beale (1633–1699) was a pioneering figure in the art world, achieving professional success at a time when the field was dominated by men. Her work is characterized by a sensitive and perceptive approach to portraiture, often capturing the personality and essence of her sitters. "Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, in a Blue Dress, in a Feigned Oval" exemplifies Beale's skill in rendering fabric and flesh tones, as well as her adept use of lighting to highlight the features of her subject.

The painting is a testament to Beale's artistic legacy and contributes to our understanding of the role of women artists during the Restoration period. It offers insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the era, as well as the social status and identity of women who could commission such portraits. The artwork remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Mary Beale and continues to be studied for its historical and artistic significance.
