"Portrait of James II; Portrait of Mary of Modena" are a pair of portraits by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century who became the Principal Painter to Charles II. These portraits depict James II of England, who reigned from 1685 to 1688, and his second wife, Mary of Modena. Lely was renowned for his ability to capture the elegance and opulence of the Restoration court, and these works are no exception.

James II, known for his eventual deposition in the Glorious Revolution, is portrayed with the regal bearing befitting a monarch, while Mary of Modena, an Italian princess who became queen consort, is depicted with the grace and refinement characteristic of Lely's female sitters. The portraits likely served to reinforce the royal couple's legitimacy and status at a time when the monarchy had been restored after the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and the Interregnum.

Lely's technique, influenced by the works of Anthony van Dyck, is evident in the rich color palette, the detailed rendering of textiles and lace, and the sensitive depiction of the sitters' features. These portraits are significant as historical documents of the English monarchy and as masterpieces of 17th-century portraiture. They exemplify Lely's skill in portraying his subjects with a combination of realism and idealization, a hallmark of his most successful court portraits.

The "Portrait of James II; Portrait of Mary of Modena" remain important artifacts of the period, offering insight into the politics, fashion, and culture of the Restoration era.
