"Portrait of Admiral Sir James Wishart" is an oil painting by the Swedish-born artist Michael Dahl (1659–1743), who was active in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The portrait is a significant work that exemplifies Dahl's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters, who were often prominent figures in British society. Admiral Sir James Wishart (c. 1659–1723) was a Scottish naval officer who served with distinction in the Royal Navy, particularly during the War of the Spanish Succession.

The painting is a half-length portrait that depicts Admiral Wishart in his naval uniform, adorned with the insignia of his rank and the honours he received for his service. The composition typically reflects the Baroque style of portraiture, with an emphasis on the sitter's authority and dignity. Dahl's use of lighting and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of fabrics and the rendering of Wishart's features, contribute to the lifelike quality of the portrait.

Michael Dahl was a contemporary of Sir Godfrey Kneller, the leading court painter of the time, and the two artists were rivals in the field of portraiture. Dahl's portraits are known for their more relaxed and naturalistic representation of the sitters, as opposed to Kneller's often more formulaic approach. "Portrait of Admiral Sir James Wishart" is a testament to Dahl's ability to convey both the status of his subjects and their individual personalities.

The painting is part of a broader collection of British naval portraiture that documents the country's maritime history and the careers of its naval officers. As an artwork, it provides insight into the conventions of portraiture during the period, as well as the cultural and historical context of the Royal Navy during the early 18th century.
