"Portrait of the Elisabeth or Theresia Shirley in Oriental Clothes" is a 17th-century oil painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England. The painting is notable for its depiction of either Elisabeth or Theresia Shirley, daughters of Sir Robert Shirley and Teresia Khanum, dressed in exotic oriental attire, which reflects the fascination with the East that was prevalent in Europe during the time.

Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) was renowned for his portraits of European aristocracy, and this work is a testament to his skill in capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects. The identity of the sitter as either Elisabeth or Theresia Shirley is not definitively established, and the painting is often discussed in the context of the ambiguity surrounding the sitter's identity. The Shirley family had notable connections to Persia (modern-day Iran) where Sir Robert Shirley served as an ambassador, which may have influenced the choice of clothing in the portrait.

The painting is executed with the refined technique and attention to detail characteristic of Van Dyck's mature style. The rich textures of the fabric, the intricate patterns, and the delicate rendering of the sitter's features are all hallmarks of Van Dyck's portraiture. The choice to depict the subject in oriental clothes adds an element of cultural exchange and underscores the role of portraiture not only in documenting the appearance of individuals but also in reflecting the broader cultural and historical contexts of the time.

"Portrait of the Elisabeth or Theresia Shirley in Oriental Clothes" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Van Dyck and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of cross-cultural encounters in European art history. The painting is held in a private collection, and its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its significance within the art historical canon.
