"Portrait of Mary Davis Denny" is a notable work by Ruth Henshaw Bascom (1772–1848), an American folk artist known for her distinctive profile portraits, which are also referred to as "shade portraits" or "silhouettes." Bascom, who was active during the early 19th century, created this particular portrait using her unique technique that involved tracing the sitter's profile onto paper and then embellishing it with watercolor and pastel.

The subject of the portrait, Mary Davis Denny, was a member of a prominent family in the New England region, where Bascom executed a significant number of her works. The portrait is characterized by its attention to detail, including the rendering of Davis Denny's attire and accessories, which provides insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the period. Bascom's portraits are often celebrated for their historical value and the personal glimpse they offer into the lives of everyday Americans during the early part of the 19th century.

"Portrait of Mary Davis Denny" is considered an important piece within Bascom's oeuvre as it exemplifies her skill in capturing the essence of her subjects with a combination of simplicity and elegance. The artwork contributes to the understanding of American folk art and the role of women artists in the preservation of cultural heritage. As with many of Bascom's works, this portrait is a testament to her contribution to the folk art tradition and the documentation of early American society.

The portrait is held in various collections and has been exhibited in museums that feature American folk art and portraiture. It is often cited in discussions of Bascom's work and the broader context of silhouette portraiture in American art history.
