"Portrait of Mrs. John Musters d.1819 c.1777-80" is an oil painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, a prominent 18th-century English painter who specialized in portraits and was one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts. The painting is a notable example of Reynolds's grand style, which often incorporated elements of classical antiquity into contemporary portraiture. The subject of the painting, Mrs. John Musters, was born Sophia Catherine Musters (née Heywood) and was the wife of John Musters, a member of the British gentry with whom she resided at Colwick Hall in Nottinghamshire.

Created approximately between 1777 and 1780, the portrait is a testament to Reynolds's mastery of capturing the grace and elegance of his sitters, as well as his ability to convey their social status and personal character. In this work, Mrs. Musters is depicted in a fashionable dress of the period, likely intended to reflect her wealth and taste. The portrait may also include symbolic elements or allegorical references, as was common in Reynolds's portraiture, aiming to suggest the virtues or interests of the sitter.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the fashion, culture, and societal norms of the British upper class in the late 18th century. As with many of Reynolds's portraits, the work likely hung in the family estate, serving as a symbol of lineage and prestige.
