"Portrait of Princess Darya Lieven (1785–1857)" is an oil painting by the renowned British portrait artist Sir Thomas Lawrence. Princess Darya (Dorothea) Alexandrovna Lieven, born Countess von Benckendorff, was a Russian noblewoman who became a prominent figure in London high society and a political influencer in her time. The portrait is a testament to Lawrence's mastery in capturing the elegance and sophistication of his sitters, which included the aristocracy and royalty of early 19th-century Europe.

The painting depicts Princess Lieven in a half-length pose, exuding an air of regal poise and grace. Lawrence's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his delicate brushwork, enhances the texture of her attire and the softness of her complexion. The portrait is notable for its psychological depth, as Lawrence was adept at conveying the personality and inner life of his subjects through subtle expressions and gestures.

Princess Darya Lieven was not only a socialite but also an influential figure in diplomatic circles, serving as an unofficial ambassador between Russia and Britain. Her intellectual prowess and political acumen made her a key player in the intricate web of European politics during the post-Napoleonic era. Lawrence's portrait captures the intelligence and intensity of the princess, reflecting her status as a woman of both beauty and influence.

The painting is a significant work within Lawrence's oeuvre, illustrating his ability to blend realism with idealization. As with many of his portraits, Lawrence's depiction of Princess Lieven is both a personal likeness and a representation of the ideals of aristocratic femininity of the time. The artwork is an important historical document, providing insight into the cultural and political life of the period, as well as showcasing the artistic achievements of one of Britain's foremost portrait painters.

The "Portrait of Princess Darya Lieven" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
