"Portrait of Mrs. Elizabeth Merry, née Death, wife of Anthony Merry" is an 18th-century miniature painting by the renowned English artist Richard Cosway. The portrait is a significant example of Cosway's work, who was a leading portraitist of the Regency era, known for his delicate and sophisticated miniatures that captured the elegance and grace of his subjects. This particular portrait features Elizabeth Death Merry, the wife of Anthony Merry, a British diplomat who served as the British envoy to the United States from 1803 to 1806.

Elizabeth, whose maiden name intriguingly was Death, is depicted in the portrait with the refined and genteel attributes typical of Cosway's style. The artwork is a testament to the social status and the personal story of the sitter, providing a glimpse into the fashion and cultural norms of the period. Cosway's skill in rendering the fine details of Elizabeth's attire and his ability to convey her personality and social standing through the subtleties of her pose and expression are evident in this work.

The portrait is not only an important piece of art history but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the interconnectedness of art, politics, and society in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. As with many of Cosway's miniatures, this portrait would have been a personal keepsake, possibly commissioned by Anthony Merry himself, and would have been cherished for both its artistic merit and its sentimental value.

The painting is a valuable addition to the oeuvre of Richard Cosway, illustrating his mastery of the miniature portrait and his role in documenting the visages of the upper echelons of society during a significant period in British history. The portrait remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who study the period, the genre of portraiture, and the life and works of Richard Cosway.
