"Anne, Duchess of Richmond" is a portrait painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller, a leading portraitist in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The painting is a representation of Anne Brudenell, the Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, who was a member of the British aristocracy and a figure in the court of King Charles II. Kneller's work captures the Duchess in an elegant pose, reflecting the fashion and aesthetics of the period.

Sir Godfrey Kneller (1646–1723) was born Gottfried Kniller in Lübeck, Germany, and became the leading portrait painter in England after moving there in 1676. He was renowned for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his subjects, which included royalty, nobility, and leading cultural figures of his time. Kneller was appointed Principal Painter to the Crown by King William III and was knighted in 1692. He was also one of the founders of the first proper art academy in England, the Great Queen Street Academy.

The portrait of Anne, Duchess of Richmond, is a quintessential example of Kneller's grand manner portraiture, characterized by a sense of refinement and grandeur. The Duchess is depicted with the fashionable attire and hairstyle of the era, and her pose and expression convey a sense of her social status and personal elegance. The painting is notable for its attention to detail in the rendering of fabrics and textures, as well as the skillful use of light and shadow to create a three-dimensional effect.

As a historical artifact, the portrait provides insight into the courtly life and fashion of the Restoration period in England. It also serves as an example of the cultural exchange between England and the Continent, as Kneller brought Continental influences into English portraiture. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Kneller that helped define the visual representation of the English aristocracy during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

The "Anne, Duchess of Richmond" portrait is held in various art collections and has been displayed in art galleries and museums, contributing to the study and appreciation of Restoration-era portraiture and the oeuvre of Sir Godfrey Kneller. It remains an important work for understanding the evolution of portrait painting in England and the role of art in documenting and shaping the identity of the British upper class.
