"Portrait of a Young Woman, Possibly Hannah, the Artist's Maid, Holding a Tea Tray" is an 18th-century oil painting by the Franco-German artist Philippe Mercier (1689–1760), who was active in England for much of his career. The painting is notable for its depiction of a domestic servant, a subject that diverges from the more common aristocratic and bourgeois portraiture of the period. The identity of the young woman is not definitively known, but she is thought to be Hannah, a maid who worked for the artist, as suggested by the title.

Mercier, a painter and etcher, was born in Berlin and studied painting in Berlin and Paris before moving to London in 1716. He became known for his work in the Rococo style and was a significant figure in introducing the French Rococo to England. Mercier's oeuvre includes a range of subjects, from theatrical scenes to genre paintings, but he is particularly remembered for his portraits.

This particular work is characterized by its informal composition and the intimate portrayal of the sitter. The young woman is shown in a moment of daily life, holding a tea tray, which adds a narrative element to the piece. The painting reflects Mercier's skill in capturing the textures of materials and the play of light on surfaces, as well as his ability to convey the personality and inner life of his subjects.

The painting is an example of Mercier's contribution to the development of English portraiture and provides insight into the social history of the time, offering a glimpse into the lives of domestic workers who were rarely the focus of fine art during the era. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and its provenance, exhibition history, and critical reception contribute to its significance in the study of 18th-century British art.
