"Portrait of Horace Walpole (1717-97) c.1741" is a pastel portrait by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, one of the most prominent and pioneering female artists of the 18th century. The portrait depicts Horace Walpole, an English writer, antiquarian, and politician, known for his significant contributions to literature and for being the son of the first British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole.

Created around 1741, the portrait is a testament to Carriera's mastery of the pastel medium and her ability to capture the delicate features and expressions of her sitters. The work is characterized by its soft, luminous quality and the subtle rendering of Walpole's youthful visage, which is typical of Carriera's Rococo style. The portrait is notable for its historical significance, as it captures a prominent figure of the Enlightenment and provides insight into the cultural and intellectual exchanges between Italy and Britain during the period.

Rosalba Carriera (1673–1757) was celebrated for her skill in pastel painting and her influence on the spread of this medium across Europe. She was a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome and the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris, reflecting her international reputation. The "Portrait of Horace Walpole" is one of several works by Carriera that contributed to her acclaim and is an important piece within her oeuvre, showcasing her ability to blend the intimacy of portraiture with the elegance of the Rococo movement.

The portrait is held in various collections and has been exhibited in art galleries that focus on 18th-century European art. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of cross-cultural artistic patronage in the 18th century. As with many of Carriera's portraits, it is also analyzed within the context of gender dynamics in the art world, highlighting the achievements of women artists in a predominantly male-dominated field.
