"Portrait of Lord Charles Spencer-Churchill (1740-1820)" is an 18th-century oil painting by the English artist Tilly Kettle (1735–1786), who is recognized as one of the first significant British painters to work in India. The portrait depicts Lord Charles Spencer-Churchill, a member of the prominent Spencer family, known for his military service and as an ancestor of the Winston Churchill. Born in 1740, Lord Charles was the third son of Charles Spencer, 3rd Duke of Marlborough, and the Honourable Elizabeth Trevor.

Tilly Kettle, a portraitist who achieved success in London before moving to India in 1769, is known for his portraits that combine English elegance with the allure of the Orient. This particular work is a fine example of Kettle's skill in capturing the poise and stature of British nobility. The painting showcases Lord Charles in the attire of his period, reflecting his social status and the fashion of the time. The portrait is notable for its attention to detail, the rendering of textures in the clothing, and the dignified representation of the sitter.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the representation of the British aristocracy in art, as well as the cross-cultural exchanges between Britain and India during the 18th century. As an artifact of the Georgian era, it also contributes to the understanding of the period's aesthetic preferences and portraiture conventions.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not documented, it is likely to have been produced during Kettle's time in India or shortly after his return to England in 1776. The portrait remains an important work within Tilly Kettle's oeuvre and British portraiture of the 18th century. It is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subjects and the social milieu in which they lived.
