"Portrait of a Lady, Possibly Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, Bust Length with a Pearl Necklace in a Feigned Oval" is a notable artwork attributed to Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century known for his portraits of English royalty and nobility. This painting, executed in oil on canvas, is believed to depict Barbara Villiers, a well-known courtesan and mistress of King Charles II of England, who was later made Countess of Castlemaine and Duchess of Cleveland in recognition of her position at court.

The portrait features the subject in a bust-length format, set within a feigned (painted) oval frame, which was a popular style in Baroque portraiture. The lady is adorned with a luxurious pearl necklace, adding to the opulence of the depiction. Her attire and the style of her hair reflect the fashion of the English Restoration period, characterized by rich fabrics and elaborate hairstyles, which were often used to signify status and wealth.

Sir Peter Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was a Dutch painter who became the principal painter to Charles II and was known for his ability to capture the sophistication and sensuality of his subjects. His portraits are celebrated for their elegance and vivacity, qualities that are evident in this work. The painting not only showcases Lely’s skillful handling of oil paint and his adeptness at portraiture but also serves as a historical document reflecting the social and cultural milieu of the English court during the Restoration period.

While the exact identity of the lady in the portrait remains a subject of debate among historians, the artwork remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Sir Peter Lely and a valuable artifact from a significant era in British history.
