"Portrait of a Lady, Bust-Length, in a Green Dress, Feigned Oval" is a notable work by Sir Godfrey Kneller, a leading portrait painter in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Born Gottfried Kniller in Lübeck, Germany, in 1646, Kneller studied in the Netherlands before moving to England in 1676, where he became the principal painter to the court and was eventually knighted by King William III.

This particular painting is an example of Kneller's skill in capturing the elegance and sophistication of his subjects, which included the most influential figures of his time. The portrait, as indicated by its title, features an unidentified lady depicted from the bust up, dressed in a green garment. The feigned oval format, a stylistic device used by Kneller and his contemporaries, gives the illusion of an oval frame within the rectangular canvas, focusing the viewer's attention on the subject's face and upper torso.

Kneller's technique is characterized by a confident use of brushwork and a refined handling of light and shadow, which lends a three-dimensional quality to the sitter's features and attire. The green dress, a less common choice for portraiture of the era, may suggest the sitter's personal taste or status, and adds a rich vibrancy to the composition.

The painting is a testament to Kneller's ability to blend the grand manner of portraiture with a sense of individual personality, making his works sought after by the aristocracy and gentry of his time. While the identity of the lady in the portrait remains unknown, the artwork itself provides valuable insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the period, as well as Kneller's own artistic legacy.

As a prominent artist, Kneller's works are held in numerous collections and have been the subject of scholarly study. His portraits are considered important historical documents, as they capture the likenesses of key figures in British and European history. "Portrait of a Lady, Bust-Length, in a Green Dress, Feigned Oval" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and as an example of the portraiture that defined the Restoration and early Georgian periods in England.
