"Tench Francis by Robert Feke" is a portrait painting by the American colonial era artist Robert Feke. The artwork depicts Tench Francis, Jr. (1730–1800), a prominent Philadelphia lawyer and businessman of the 18th century. As a member of a notable family, Francis was a figure of social and economic importance in the colonial period, and his portrait by Feke is a testament to his status.

Robert Feke, active primarily in the 1740s and 1750s, is considered one of the earliest American-born portrait painters of note. His style combined elements of the English baroque with a growing American sensibility. Feke's portraits are characterized by their rich colors, detailed rendering of clothing and accessories, and the often relaxed poses of his subjects, which was somewhat atypical for the period's portraiture.

The painting of Tench Francis is an example of Feke's adept skill at capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters. The portrait would have served both as a personal memento for the family and as a symbol of Francis's social standing. While the exact date of the painting is not known, it is likely from the mid-18th century, a period when Feke was most active and when Francis would have been a mature adult.

The portrait is significant not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, providing insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and cultural values of colonial America. As with many of Feke's works, the painting is noted for its attention to textile detail and the sitter's expression, which suggests the character and demeanor of the individual.

The "Tench Francis by Robert Feke" painting is an important piece in the oeuvre of early American portraiture and contributes to the understanding of the social history of the period. It is held in various collections and has been displayed in museums that focus on American art and history. The portrait is often cited in discussions of Feke's work and in studies of colonial American society.
