"Shepherdess Nell Gwynn" is an acclaimed painting by the notable 17th century Dutch-English artist, Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680). Lely served as the principal painter to Charles II, and was renowned for his ability to capture the spirit and glamour of the Restoration period. "Shepherdess Nell Gwynn" is one of his many works portraying high-status women of the era, specifically the Restoration court.

The subject of the piece is Eleanor "Nell" Gwynn (1650–1687), a notable figure of the Restoration period. Gwynn was celebrated for her wit, charm, and her rise from humble origins to fame as an actress. She later became one of the mistresses of King Charles II of England, further securing her prominence in society. Lely's painting depicts her in a rustic, pastoral setting, garbed as a shepherdess, a popular theme during this period, aimed at demonstrating purity and natural simplicity, contrasting with the opulence of the court life. The artistic choice likely reflects the perception of Gwynn as a vibrant, wholesome woman, well in tune with the earthy, comic roles that first made her so popular on the stage.

The painting is enriching historical document, offering insight into 17th century fashion, portraiture, and the nuances of high society symbolism. Its existence also sheds light on the significant role theatre and actors played during the Restoration, as well as on one of the era's most celebrated personalities, Nell Gwynn. "Shepherdess Nell Gwynn" by Sir Peter Lely remains an important work within the context of both English and European art history.
