"Portrait of Alexander Pope" is a painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller, one of the leading portraitists in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This particular portrait, often referred to as "Portrait of Alexander Pope 2" to distinguish it from other portraits of the famous poet, captures Alexander Pope (1688–1744), one of the foremost poets and satirists of the early 18th century, known for his sharp wit and masterful use of the heroic couplet.

Kneller, born Gottfried Kniller in Lübeck, Germany, in 1646, was the principal painter to British royalty for almost forty years, painting the courts of Kings Charles II, James II, William III, Queen Anne, and George I. His portraits were known for their grandeur and attention to detail, which made him a favorite among the British elite. The "Portrait of Alexander Pope 2" is a testament to Kneller's skill in capturing not only the likeness but also the character of his sitters.

The painting is a half-length portrait that shows Pope in the attire of the period, with a focus on his face and expression, which is contemplative and intense. The portrait is noted for its refined execution and the way it conveys Pope's intellectual presence. As with many of Kneller's works, the background is subdued, directing the viewer's attention to the subject.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it likely falls within the period of Kneller's most active years as a court painter, between the late 17th century and the early 18th century. The portrait is an important work in the study of British portraiture, as it represents a meeting of two significant figures of the era: the leading portrait artist and one of the most influential writers of the time.

"Portrait of Alexander Pope 2" is held in a collection or institution that preserves the work for historical and artistic study, contributing to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of the period. The painting is a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of portraiture, the representation of literary figures, and the cultural milieu of early 18th-century Britain.
