The Portraits of William III and Queen Mary II are a series of paintings by the celebrated Dutch-born English portrait painter, Sir Peter Lely. Born as Pieter van der Faes, he adopted the moniker 'Lely' from a lily drawn on his family's heraldic. The portraits of William III and Mary II are considered one of his acclaimed works, capturing the royal dignity, and the personal characteristics of the king and the queen in his signature style.

Sir Peter Lely was the principal painter of King Charles II and was also the first painter to the British king. His distinguished body of work largely involved portraiture of English and Scottish nobility. In the portraits of William III (who was also a Dutch prince) and his spouse Queen Mary II, Lely's baroque style of painting brings alive their regal personalities onto the canvas.

The two portraits are characterized by their impeccable detailing, from the intricate lacework on their royal garb to the nuanced expressions on their faces, bearing Lely's classic ‘sleepy eye’ technique. Rendered with a particular sensitivity to color and light, the oil-based portraits possess a lifelike quality.

William III is depicted in these portraits with an air of grandeur, often garbed in his royal attire with elaborate detailing on his chest plate and sash, highlighting his role as the country's monarch. Mary, on the other hand, is pictured in elaborate gowns, reflecting the fashion of the time, and the prominence of her royal status.

Regrettably, the specific history of these portraits, including the years they were painted and their provenance, is not well-documented. Nonetheless, they exemplify Lely's proficiency in capturing his subjects’ physiognomies and personalities, retaining a significant place in the history of British royal portraiture.
