Frances Theresa Stuart (1647–1702) is a portrait by the renowned Dutch painter Sir Peter Lely, who became the principal painter at the court of King Charles II of England. The painting depicts Frances Stuart, also known as Frances Teresa Stewart, who was a prominent figure at the Restoration court and renowned for her beauty. She served as a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Braganza and is perhaps best known for her refusal to become a mistress to Charles II, which only increased her favor in the eyes of the public and the king.

Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was a leading portraitist of the time and his works are characterized by their elegance and the subtle depiction of his sitters. His portraits of court ladies, often referred to as the "Windsor Beauties," were particularly famous for their portrayal of fashionable and influential women of the era. The portrait of Frances Stuart is a quintessential example of Lely's style, showcasing the sitter's grace and the fashions of the time.

The painting is likely to have been commissioned during the height of Stuart's fame at court, capturing her at a relatively young age. Lely's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the softness of skin is evident in this work, as is his ability to convey the social status and personality of his subject. The portrait would have served both as a celebration of Stuart's beauty and as a symbol of her position within the social hierarchy of the Restoration court.

Frances Theresa Stuart's portrait by Sir Peter Lely is an important work in the oeuvre of the artist and in the visual documentation of English court life in the 17th century. It reflects the cultural and aesthetic values of the time and provides insight into the personal history of one of the era's most intriguing figures. The painting is not only a testament to Lely's artistic prowess but also a historical document that captures the complex interplay of power, beauty, and virtue in the Stuart era.
