"Portrait of Robert, Lord Walpole (d.1751), eldest son of Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745)" is a pastel portrait by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, one of the most prominent and pioneering portraitists of the 18th century. The subject of the portrait, Robert Walpole, later 2nd Earl of Orford, was the first son of Sir Robert Walpole, who is generally regarded as the de facto first Prime Minister of Great Britain. This work is significant as it captures a member of one of the most influential families in British political history, during a period when the power of the aristocracy was at its zenith.

Rosalba Carriera (1675–1757) was renowned for her skill in the medium of pastel, which was gaining popularity at the time for its ability to render soft and lifelike textures, particularly suitable for capturing the nuances of the human face. Her work was highly sought after by the European elite, and she became particularly well-known for her portraits of royalty and aristocracy. The portrait of Robert Walpole is a testament to her mastery of the medium and her ability to convey both the physical likeness and the social stature of her sitters.

The artwork is notable for its delicate use of color and light, typical of Carriera's style, which imbues the subject with both realism and an almost ethereal quality. The portrait would have been commissioned as a means of asserting social status and preserving the likeness of the young Lord Walpole for posterity. As an artifact of cultural and historical significance, the portrait not only showcases Carriera's artistic talent but also offers insight into the visual representation of the British upper class in the early 18th century.

The portrait's current location, provenance, and history of ownership may provide additional context to its significance, as well as any exhibitions in which it has been displayed. As a work by Carriera, it also contributes to the understanding of the role of women artists in the early modern period, a time when female painters were not commonly accepted in the professional art world.
