"The Equestrian Portrait of the Duke of Lerma" is a significant painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1603. This work is a prime example of Rubens's early mastery in portraying nobility and his ability to capture the grandeur of his subjects. The painting depicts Francisco Gómez de Sandoval, 1st Duke of Lerma, a powerful Spanish statesman and favourite of King Philip III of Spain, mounted on a horse, symbolizing his military prowess and high social status.

Rubens, renowned for his exuberant Baroque style, vividly conveys the Duke's authority and the ceremonial aspects of his position through the use of dynamic composition, rich color palette, and meticulous attention to detail. The Duke is portrayed in full armor, with a baton of command in his hand, reinforcing his role as a military leader and a courtly figure. The horse is equally majestic, depicted in mid-stride, which adds to the overall impression of movement and power within the painting.

The work is notable for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. As a court painter, Rubens was adept at creating images that not only served as portraits but also as political statements, reinforcing the social hierarchy and the divine right of the nobility. "The Equestrian Portrait of the Duke of Lerma" is a testament to Rubens's skill in blending portraiture with allegory, and it remains an important piece in the study of European art history.

The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and as a representation of the political and social structures of early 17th-century Europe.
