"Portrait of Mrs. James Ladson (1818)" is a notable work by the American artist Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791–1872), who is perhaps best known for his role in the development of the telegraph system and the invention of Morse code. Before his technological achievements, Morse was an accomplished painter, having trained at the Royal Academy in London and established a career as a portrait artist upon his return to the United States.

The painting is a classic example of early 19th-century American portraiture, capturing the elegance and social status of its subject, Mrs. James Ladson, née Harriet Bowen. She was a member of a prominent Charleston, South Carolina family, and her portrait reflects the wealth and refinement of the Southern aristocracy during this period. The work is characterized by its fine detail, the delicate rendering of Mrs. Ladson's attire, and the poised, serene expression on her face, which was typical of the era's portraiture style.

Completed in 1818, the portrait is a testament to Morse's skill as an artist and his ability to convey the personality and social standing of his sitters. The painting not only serves as a piece of art history but also provides insight into the cultural and historical context of the American South in the early 19th century. It is an important work in the oeuvre of Samuel Morse, offering a glimpse into the early career of a man who would later become a pivotal figure in the history of communication technology.

The "Portrait of Mrs. James Ladson" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been studied by art historians for its artistic merit and as an example of Morse's portraiture before he turned his attention to invention and innovation. The painting is occasionally on display for public viewing during exhibitions that focus on American portraiture, the life and works of Samuel Morse, or the art and culture of the Antebellum South.
