"Portrait of a Lady, Traditionally Identified as the Countess of Halifax" is a notable 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 (1618–1680), was a Dutch painter whose career flourished in England, where he became renowned for his portraits of the aristocracy. The painting in question is an exemplar of Lely's sophisticated and elegant style, which often captured the opulence and sensuality of the Restoration court.

The artwork is believed to depict the Countess of Halifax, although the precise identity of the sitter has been a subject of debate among art historians. The Countess of Halifax could refer to one of several women associated with the title during Lely's lifetime, adding an element of mystery to the painting's historical context. The traditional identification is based on stylistic analysis and historical records, but the absence of definitive documentation means that the sitter's identity remains speculative.

The portrait is characteristic of Lely's approach to portraiture, with a focus on the sitter's grace and attire. It showcases the artist's skill in rendering textures and fabrics, as well as his ability to convey the social status and personality of his subjects. The Countess is depicted with a relaxed yet dignified poise, typical of Lely's ability to capture the essence of the English aristocracy during a period of great cultural and political change.

As a work of art, "Portrait of a Lady, Traditionally Identified as the Countess of Halifax" is significant for its artistic merit and for its representation of the social mores and fashions of the time. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Sir Peter Lely and a valuable artifact of 17th-century British portraiture.
