"Half-Length Portrait of a Lady Believed to Be Catherine the Great of Russia" is an 18th-century oil painting by Italian artist Pietro Antonio Rotari, a painter renowned for his portraiture. The painting is notable for its subject, who is thought to be Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, who was Empress of Russia from 1762 until 1796. The artwork captures the subject in a half-length pose, a common format for portraiture of the era, which focuses on the sitter's face and upper body, allowing for a detailed depiction of attire and expression.

Pietro Antonio Rotari (1707–1762) was active during a period of significant cultural exchange between Italy and Russia, and his work is representative of the Rococo style that was popular in Europe at the time. The painting is characterized by its refined elegance, soft color palette, and the delicate rendering of the sitter's features and garments. The identity of the lady as Catherine the Great, however, is not definitively established, and the attribution is based on the resemblance of the sitter to known depictions of the Empress and the historical context in which Rotari worked.

Catherine the Great was a patron of the arts and an influential figure in the cultural development of Russia, making her a popular subject for artists of her time. Rotari himself spent a significant part of his career in Russia, having been invited to the court of Elizabeth of Russia in 1756, where he worked until his death in 1762. His portraits of Russian nobility were highly regarded, and his work contributed to the diffusion of Italian artistic styles in Russia.

The painting's provenance and history of ownership, as well as its current location, are essential for a comprehensive understanding of its significance. However, if such information is not readily available or verifiable, it would limit the ability to provide a complete introduction to the artwork. In such cases, the focus would remain on the artist's biography, the stylistic attributes of the painting, and its cultural and historical context.
