Nell Gwynne by Simon Pietersz. Verelst is a portrait painting of the celebrated English actress and mistress of King Charles II, Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn (1650–1687). Simon Pietersz. Verelst (1644–1721) was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his works in England, including portraits of the royal court and prominent figures of the time. The painting is a testament to Gwyn's enduring fame and the fascination with her life as a leading figure of the Restoration stage and her intimate connection with the monarchy.

In the portrait, Nell Gwynne is typically depicted with the attributes of her profession and her vivacious personality, which charmed both the public and the king. Verelst's work captures her alluring smile and lively eyes, which were often noted by her contemporaries. The artwork reflects the baroque style of the period, characterized by its rich colors, detailed textures, and dramatic lighting, which serves to highlight Gwynne's features and the opulence of her attire.

The painting not only represents Gwynne's status as a cultural icon of the 17th century but also provides insight into the period's artistic and social milieu. As a historical artifact, it offers a glimpse into the Restoration era's aesthetics and the role of portraiture in celebrating and immortalizing figures of Nell Gwynne's stature.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, which is common for many works of that era. However, it is believed to have been painted during the height of Gwynne's fame and her association with King Charles II, likely in the latter half of the 17th century. The portrait of Nell Gwynne by Simon Pietersz. Verelst is an important piece of cultural heritage, encapsulating the legacy of one of England's most beloved and enigmatic historical figures.
