"Nell Gwynne (1650-1687)" is a portrait painting by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent Dutch-born painter who became the leading portraitist in England during the reign of Charles II. The painting is one of several portraits Lely created of Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn, a celebrated actress and one of the most famous mistresses of King Charles II of England. Nell Gwyn was renowned for her beauty, wit, and vivacious personality, which made her a popular subject for artists of the time.

Lely's portrait of Nell Gwynne is a quintessential example of his style, characterized by its sensuous elegance and the use of soft, flowing lines. The painting typically depicts Gwyn in a sumptuous dress, often with exposed shoulders, capturing the opulence and decadence of the Restoration court. Lely's skillful use of light and shadow enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, while his attention to texture and detail in the fabrics of Gwyn's attire reflects the luxury of the era.

As court painter, Lely played a significant role in shaping the visual representation of the English monarchy and its courtiers during the 17th century. His portraits of Nell Gwynne not only immortalized her as an individual but also served as a symbol of the period's cultural and social milieu. The artworks are considered important historical documents, providing insight into the fashion, aesthetics, and personalities that dominated the royal court.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been produced during the height of Gwyn's fame and her relationship with Charles II, likely between the 1660s and 1670s. Today, Lely's portraits of Nell Gwynne are held in various art collections, including those of major museums and galleries, and they continue to be studied and admired for their artistic and historical significance.
