"Portrait of a Lady, Possibly Louise de Kéroualle, Duchess of Portsmouth" is a 17th-century oil painting by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent court painter in England during the reign of Charles II. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was a Dutch painter whose career flourished after he moved to England, where he became renowned for his portraits of the aristocracy, particularly the ladies of the court. This painting is believed to depict Louise de Kéroualle, one of the most influential mistresses of King Charles II, who was later created Duchess of Portsmouth.

The portrait is characteristic of Lely's style, which was influenced by the works of Anthony van Dyck. It features the sitter in an elegant pose, draped in luxurious fabrics that exemplify the fashion and opulence of the Restoration court. The lady's attire and the soft, flowing lines of her dress are typical of Lely's skill in capturing the textures of materials and the grace of his subjects. The portrait's composition, with the sitter's gaze engaging the viewer, and the use of light to highlight her features and the richness of her garments, are hallmarks of Lely's portraiture.

Louise de Kéroualle's possible identification as the subject adds a layer of historical significance to the work. As a member of Charles II's intimate circle and a political influencer in her own right, she played a role in the complex interplay between England and France during a turbulent period in European history. Her relationship with the king and her subsequent elevation to the peerage reflect the intricate connections between power, politics, and patronage in the arts during the 17th century.

The painting is a testament to Lely's reputation as a leading portraitist of his time, capturing the elegance and sophistication of the Restoration era. It remains an important work for the study of British portraiture, offering insights into the social and cultural dynamics of the English court, as well as the artistic trends of the period.
