"James Stuart, 4th Duke of Lennox" is a portrait painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a leading Flemish Baroque artist who became the principal court painter in England under King Charles I. The painting is a notable example of Van Dyck's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the elegance and nobility of his subjects. It depicts James Stuart (1612–1655), who was a Scottish nobleman and a cousin of King Charles I. Stuart was also the 1st Duke of Richmond, a title bestowed upon him by the king.

The portrait is characterized by Van Dyck's sophisticated use of color and adept rendering of fabrics, capturing the textures of Stuart's attire with a high degree of realism. The duke is typically shown in a grand, aristocratic pose, which was a common feature in Van Dyck's portraiture, aimed at emphasizing the dignity and status of the sitter. The work reflects the cultural and political milieu of the Caroline court, with its emphasis on chivalry, elegance, and the divine right of kings.

As with many of Van Dyck's portraits, "James Stuart, 4th Duke of Lennox" would have served to reinforce the social hierarchy and the power of the aristocracy in 17th-century England. The painting is part of a larger body of work that helped to define the visual representation of the English nobility during a significant period in British history.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not always clear, but it is generally believed to have been completed during Van Dyck's time in England, which was from 1632 until his death in 1641. The portrait is held in various collections and has been displayed in prominent art galleries, contributing to the understanding of Van Dyck's impact on British portraiture. It remains an important work for studying the cultural and artistic exchanges between Britain and the continent during the early modern period.
