"Portrait of a Nun" is a notable 17th-century painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne, a prominent painter of his time known for his precise and realistic portraiture as well as his religious compositions. The painting is a striking example of Champaigne's skill in capturing the psychological depth and spiritual character of his subjects. It depicts a nun, possibly a member of the order of the Carmelites or another contemplative order, given the austere black and white habit that she wears, which was typical of religious attire of the period.

The subject of the painting is portrayed with a serene expression and a direct gaze that engages the viewer, suggesting a sense of piety and inner peace. The nun's hands are clasped in prayer, further emphasizing the religious nature of the portrait. Champaigne's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of the fabric and the soft modeling of the face, demonstrate his mastery of the techniques of the time and contribute to the overall sense of quietude and devotion.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during the mid-17th century, a period when Champaigne was at the height of his artistic powers. The painting's provenance and the identity of the nun remain subjects of scholarly interest, with various theories proposed but none conclusively established.

"Portrait of a Nun" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century France. The work is an important part of Champaigne's oeuvre and offers insight into the broader context of European portraiture and the Counter-Reformation's influence on the arts. The painting is preserved in a public collection, allowing it to be studied and appreciated by scholars and the general public alike.
