"Portrait of Sir Ralph Verney" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch-born artist Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680), who became one of the most prominent court painters in England. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was particularly known for his portraits of the English aristocracy and was a successor to Anthony van Dyck in the role of Principal Painter in Ordinary to the king. The painting depicts Sir Ralph Verney (1613–1696), a member of the English gentry and a notable figure during the English Civil War and the Restoration period.

The portrait is characteristic of Lely's style, which was influenced by the Flemish tradition and marked by a refined elegance and attention to detail. In this work, Sir Ralph Verney is portrayed with the typical attributes of a gentleman of his time, dressed in the fashion of the English Restoration era. The composition likely reflects Verney's status and accomplishments, as well as the aesthetic preferences of the period, with a focus on the sitter's demeanor and attire.

As a historical artifact, the portrait not only serves as a representation of Sir Ralph Verney but also offers insights into the artistic conventions and societal norms of the 17th century. The painting is an example of the cultural exchange between the Netherlands and England during this period, with Lely's work embodying the merging of Dutch and English artistic sensibilities.

The "Portrait of Sir Ralph Verney" is significant for its art historical value, its connection to an influential figure in English history, and its representation of the work of Sir Peter Lely, a key artist in the development of British portraiture. The painting is part of a larger body of work that helped define the visual legacy of the English Restoration and continues to be studied for its contributions to the history of British art.
