"Lady Sarah Bunbury Sacrificing to the Graces" is a renowned oil painting completed in 1765 by Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was one of the most influential 18th-century English painters and a leading figure in the Grand Manner style of portraiture. The painting is a full-length portrait of Lady Sarah Lennox (1745–1826), the daughter of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond, and one of the famous Lennox sisters. Lady Sarah was known for her beauty and was once considered as a potential bride for King George III.

The painting depicts Lady Sarah in classical attire, performing a sacrifice to the Three Graces, who were goddesses of such qualities as charm, beauty, and creativity in Greek mythology. This allegorical representation aligns with the neoclassical trend of the time, which sought to emulate the arts of antiquity. Reynolds's choice to portray Lady Sarah in this manner was a reflection of the contemporary fascination with classical antiquity and its ideals.

Measuring approximately 240.7 x 147.6 cm (94 3/4 x 58 1/8 in.), the work is a testament to Reynolds's skill in blending portraiture with historical and mythological themes. The painting is notable for its grand scale, the elegance of its composition, and the harmonious color palette, which showcases Reynolds's mastery of light and shadow to create depth and volume.

"Lady Sarah Bunbury Sacrificing to the Graces" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1766, where it received considerable acclaim. The painting was commissioned by Sarah's husband, Sir Charles Bunbury, and it has since become one of Reynolds's most celebrated works. It is often cited as an example of the artist's ability to elevate portraiture to the level of history painting through the incorporation of classical elements and narrative.

Today, the painting is part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and as a reflection of the cultural values of the Georgian era.
