"Portrait of Mrs. Kemble" is a notable work by the American painter Thomas Wilcocks Sully (1783–1872), created in 1821. This portrait is significant within Sully's oeuvre for its depiction of Fanny Kemble, a prominent British actress who was well-known on both sides of the Atlantic for her Shakespearean roles. Sully, born in Britain but having moved to the United States as a child, became one of the most sought-after portraitists of his time, celebrated for his ability to capture the elegance and inner life of his subjects.

The painting showcases Sully's mastery in portraying the grace and character of his sitters, a skill that made him a favorite among the elite of early 19th-century American society. "Portrait of Mrs. Kemble" is particularly admired for its delicate rendering of Kemble's features, the intricate detailing of her attire, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, all of which contribute to the lifelike presence of the subject. The work reflects the Romantic style that Sully was known for, emphasizing emotion and individuality over the more rigid conventions of earlier periods.

Beyond its artistic merits, the portrait is also a document of cultural and historical significance. Fanny Kemble was not only an actress but also a writer and a notable figure in the abolitionist movement, making her portrayal by Sully a convergence of art, theater, and social history. The painting thus offers insight into the transatlantic cultural exchanges of the 19th century, as well as the role of portraiture in shaping and communicating the identities of prominent figures of the time.

Today, "Portrait of Mrs. Kemble" is celebrated as a key work in Thomas Sully's portfolio and an important piece of American art history. It is studied for its aesthetic qualities, its representation of a leading cultural figure, and its reflection of the social and historical context of the early 1800s. The painting is a testament to Sully's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, making it a valuable resource for those interested in American portraiture, the history of theater, and the cultural interchange between the United States and Britain during the 19th century.
