"Portrait of a Lady, Traditionally Identified as Elizabeth, Countess of Devonshire" is an oil painting by the renowned 17th-century artist Sir Peter Lely, who was a leading court painter in England during the Restoration period. The artwork is believed to depict Elizabeth Cavendish, Countess of Devonshire (1619–1689), a member of the English aristocracy known for her beauty and cultural patronage. The painting is a quintessential example of Lely's portraiture, showcasing his mastery in capturing the elegance and sophistication of his subjects.

Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680), born Pieter van der Faes, was a Dutch painter whose career flourished in England. He became the Principal Painter in Ordinary to Charles II and is particularly famous for his series of portraits of ladies from the royal court, known as the "Windsor Beauties." Lely's portraits are characterized by their graceful poses, sumptuous attire, and the delicate rendering of fabrics and flesh tones, all of which are evident in this portrait of the Countess of Devonshire.

The painting itself is a testament to the fashion and aesthetics of the English Restoration court, with the sitter often depicted in opulent clothing and with a demeanor that exudes both confidence and allure. The identification of the sitress as Elizabeth, Countess of Devonshire, is traditional, and while it is widely accepted, it should be noted that definitive documentation establishing the sitter's identity remains a subject of art historical inquiry.

The portrait is a significant work within Lely's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and social dynamics of the English aristocracy in the 17th century. It is also an important piece for the study of female portraiture of the period, reflecting the roles and perceptions of women in the high society of the time. The artwork continues to be an object of admiration for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical document of its era.
