"Portrait of a Lady" is a notable work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century who became the leading court portraitist in England during the reign of Charles II. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes (1618–1680), was of Dutch origin but spent most of his career in England, where he succeeded Anthony van Dyck as the preferred painter of the English court. His portraits are renowned for their elegance and sensuality, often capturing the opulence and decadence of the Restoration period.

The painting "Portrait of a Lady" exemplifies Lely's skill in portraying the grace and sophistication of his female subjects. While the identity of the lady in this particular portrait may not be definitively known, as was common with many of Lely's works, the portrait is a testament to the artist's ability to convey the individual character and high social status of his sitters. The subject is typically depicted in a sumptuous dress, with delicate lace and luxurious fabrics that reflect the fashions of the time, and often posed in a pastoral or classical landscape setting, which was a popular motif in portraiture of the era.

Lely's technique involved a soft and fluid brushwork that lent a dreamy quality to the skin tones and textures of the fabrics. His adept use of light and shadow helped to create a three-dimensional effect, giving life and presence to the sitter. The portraits by Lely are also noted for their psychological depth, as he sought to capture not just the physical likeness but also the personality or mood of his subjects.

"Portrait of a Lady" would have been commissioned by the sitter or her family, reflecting both their wealth and social standing. Such portraits were important status symbols and were often used to commemorate marriages, to secure social alliances, or to preserve the memory of the sitter for posterity.

Today, Sir Peter Lely's portraits are held in high esteem and are part of the collections of major museums and galleries across the world. They provide a fascinating insight into the courtly life, fashion, and aesthetics of the English Restoration period, as well as the broader European Baroque movement. "Portrait of a Lady" remains a significant piece within Lely's oeuvre, embodying the elegance and refined beauty that characterize his most successful works.
