"Portrait of a Lady said to be Elizabeth Chudleigh" is an 18th-century oil painting by the renowned English artist Thomas Gainsborough, one of the most prominent portrait painters of his time. The painting is notable for its subject, who is believed to be Elizabeth Chudleigh (1720–1788), a controversial figure in Georgian society known for her beauty, charisma, and a scandalous life that included a bigamy trial.

The portrait is executed in Gainsborough's characteristic style, which is marked by a fluidity of brushwork and a keen sensitivity to the nuances of personality and fashion. In this work, the sitter is depicted with an air of aristocratic elegance, typical of Gainsborough's approach to portraiture. The identity of the lady as Elizabeth Chudleigh, however, is not definitively established, and the attribution is based on historical accounts and stylistic analysis.

Elizabeth Chudleigh herself was a maid of honour to the Duchess of Kingston and later became the Duchess of Kingston upon her marriage. Her life was marked by a sensational trial in 1776, where she was accused of bigamy after it was revealed that she had secretly married Augustus Hervey, Earl of Bristol, while publicly marrying the Duke of Kingston.

The painting is considered an important work in Gainsborough's oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic skill and the social mores of the period. It captures the complexity of a woman whose life story was as dramatic as the era in which she lived. The portrait's provenance and the exact date of its creation are subjects of ongoing research, adding to the intrigue surrounding the artwork.

As an exemplar of Gainsborough's portraiture, "Portrait of a Lady said to be Elizabeth Chudleigh" holds a place in the canon of British art history and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its potential insights into the life of one of the 18th century's most enigmatic figures.
