"Portrait of Frances Duchess of Richmond" is a notable 17th-century oil painting by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent Dutch-born painter who became one of the leading court portraitists in England during the reign of Charles II. Frances Stewart, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox (1647–1702), the subject of this portrait, was renowned for her beauty and was a prominent figure at the court, serving as a lady-in-waiting to Catherine of Braganza, the queen consort.

Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was celebrated for his ability to capture the elegance and opulence of the Restoration court. His portraits are characterized by their graceful poses, sumptuous attire, and the often idealized depiction of his sitters. The "Portrait of Frances Duchess of Richmond" exemplifies Lely's style, showcasing the duchess in a lavish dress, with her hair styled in soft curls, typical of the court's fashion. The painting reflects the aesthetic and cultural values of the English aristocracy in the late 17th century, as well as Lely's mastery of portraiture.

The Duchess of Richmond was also famously known for being the model for Britannia, a symbol of Britain's national identity, and her likeness appeared on coins and medals during the period. Lely's portrait of her captures not only her physical beauty but also her status as a cultural icon of the era.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it provides insight into the Restoration court and the role of women within it. The portrait is a testament to the Duchess's influence and the esteem in which she was held by her contemporaries. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Sir Peter Lely and a valuable piece for the study of British portraiture and history.
