"Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough by William Derby" is a portrait painting by the British artist William Derby (1786–1847), depicting Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough (1660–1744), a prominent and influential figure in British history. Sarah Churchill was a close friend of Queen Anne and a key figure in the politics of the early 18th century. She was also known for her role in the construction of Blenheim Palace, given to her and her husband, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, by a grateful nation following his military triumphs in the War of the Spanish Succession.

William Derby, known for his miniature and watercolor works, was active during the late Georgian and early Victorian periods. His portrait of the Duchess is an example of his attention to detail and his ability to capture the character and status of his sitters. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical representation of a woman who played a pivotal role in the shaping of British political and social life during her time.

The painting is a posthumous portrayal of the Duchess, as it was created well after her death, and it reflects the continued interest in her life and legacy. The work is characterized by Derby's skillful use of watercolors to achieve depth and realism. The Duchess is typically depicted in a grand setting, befitting her social standing, and her attire and demeanor in the painting would have been chosen to convey her power and influence.

As an important historical figure, Sarah Churchill has been the subject of numerous artistic representations, and Derby's portrait contributes to the visual record of her legacy. The painting is of interest to art historians and scholars of British history, particularly those focusing on the role of women in the political and cultural spheres of the 18th century.

The portrait is part of a larger collection of works by William Derby, which are held in various art galleries and private collections. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the portraiture style of the period as well as the societal importance of the subject depicted.
