"Portrait of Mary Dowdeswell, half-length, in a blue gown, feigned oval" is a notable work by the Swedish-born portrait painter Michael Dahl (1659–1743), who became one of the most sought-after portraitists in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This painting is a fine example of Dahl's mastery in capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects, often members of the English aristocracy. The portrait features Mary Dowdeswell, depicted half-length, adorned in a sumptuous blue gown that exemplifies the fashion of the period. The use of a feigned oval, a trompe-l'œil technique that creates the illusion of a framed oval within the rectangular canvas, adds a sense of depth and focus to the subject.

Michael Dahl's work is characterized by his refined brushwork and the subtle rendering of textures and fabrics, which are evident in this portrait. The sitter's poised demeanor and the delicate treatment of her facial features are typical of Dahl's portraiture style, which favored a combination of realism and idealization. The painting not only serves as a representation of Mary Dowdeswell but also provides insight into the artistic trends and societal norms of the early 18th century.

The portrait is significant for its art historical value, contributing to the understanding of portraiture conventions during Dahl's time. As a prominent artist, Dahl's influence extended beyond his lifetime, and his portraits remain important records of the individuals who played roles in the cultural and political spheres of his era. The "Portrait of Mary Dowdeswell, half-length, in a blue gown, feigned oval" is a testament to Dahl's skill and his contribution to the development of portrait painting in Britain.
