"Portrait of Catherine the Great" is an iconic oil painting by Danish artist Vigilius Eriksen, who became a court painter in Russia. The portrait depicts Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, who was Empress of Russia from 1762 until 1796, making her the country's longest-ruling female leader. Eriksen's work is one of several portraits he created of the Empress, showcasing her in regal attire that befits her status as a powerful and enlightened monarch of the Russian Empire.

The portrait is celebrated for its detailed representation of Catherine's attire, featuring luxurious fabrics and elaborate decorations, which symbolize the wealth and power of her reign. Eriksen's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his ability to capture the dignity and intelligence of his subject, has contributed to the painting's status as a significant work of 18th-century portraiture.

Commissioned by Catherine herself, the portrait served not only as a personal likeness but also as a tool of statecraft, designed to convey her image as a cultured and capable ruler to audiences both within Russia and across Europe. The painting reflects the cultural influences of the Enlightenment period, during which Catherine was a prominent patron of the arts and an advocate for the modernization and westernization of Russian society.

"Portrait of Catherine the Great" by Vigilius Eriksen holds an important place in art history, representing the intersection of art, politics, and the personal branding of one of history's most influential female leaders. The portrait can be found in the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, among other notable institutions that house works by Eriksen.
