"Portrait of Mary, Countess Howe" is an oil painting by the renowned 18th-century British artist Thomas Gainsborough, completed circa 1764. This work is a full-length portrait that exemplifies Gainsborough's mastery in capturing the elegance and grace of his aristocratic subjects. The painting depicts Mary, Countess Howe, née Hartopp, the wife of Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe, who was a prominent naval officer and later First Lord of the Admiralty.

In the portrait, Mary is portrayed standing in a pastoral landscape, a common motif in Gainsborough's portraiture, which often blended the refined elegance of his sitters with the natural beauty of the English countryside. She is dressed in a flowing silk gown with a blue sash, which was typical of the fashionable attire of the period. Her pose is relaxed yet stately, with one arm resting on a pedestal and the other holding a small bunch of flowers, suggesting both her nobility and her connection to the natural surroundings.

The painting is notable for its delicate use of light and color, which creates a sense of softness and vitality. Gainsborough's skillful brushwork is evident in the rendering of the textures of the Countess's dress and the foliage in the background. The portrait is also a testament to the artist's ability to convey the personality and social status of his subject through portraiture.

"Portrait of Mary, Countess Howe" is held in high esteem as an important example of Gainsborough's portraiture and is considered one of his significant contributions to British art. The painting is part of the collection of the Kenwood House in London, which is managed by English Heritage. It remains a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts, reflecting the cultural and aesthetic values of the Georgian era.
