"Portrait of Katherine, Lady Stanhope, later Countess of Chesterfield" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, a leading court painter in England under King Charles I. The portrait features Katherine Stanhope (née Wotton), who was the wife of Sir Henry Stanhope and later became the Countess of Chesterfield through her marriage to Philip Stanhope, the 1st Earl of Chesterfield. Van Dyck, renowned for his ability to capture the elegance and grace of the aristocracy, depicts Lady Stanhope in a sumptuous dress, embodying the fashion and opulence of the Caroline court.

The painting is an exemplar of Van Dyck's mature English period, showcasing his skillful use of color and light to enhance the sitter's dignified presence. Lady Stanhope is portrayed with a serene expression and a poised, aristocratic bearing, typical of Van Dyck's portraiture, which sought to idealize and flatter his subjects while also providing a keen psychological insight.

As a historical and artistic artifact, the portrait not only represents the individual likeness of Lady Stanhope but also serves as a reflection of the social and cultural milieu of the English nobility during the early 17th century. The work is significant for its art historical value, contributing to the understanding of Van Dyck's influence on British portraiture and the visual representation of the English elite prior to the turmoil of the English Civil War.

The painting is held in various art collections over time and has been the subject of scholarly study for its stylistic and historical importance. It is often included in exhibitions focusing on Van Dyck's work, the Baroque period, or the broader context of European portraiture. As with many of Van Dyck's portraits, "Portrait of Katherine, Lady Stanhope, later Countess of Chesterfield" continues to be admired for its elegance, refinement, and the artist's mastery of his medium.
