"A Circassian Lady" is a watercolor painting by the English artist William Henry Hunt (1790–1864), known for his mastery in the medium and his contribution to the genre of still life and bird-and-fruit pieces. Hunt, a prominent member of the British watercolor school, also painted a number of genre scenes and character studies, of which "A Circassian Lady" is an example.

The painting depicts a woman from Circassia, a region in the North Caucasus of Eastern Europe, which was known during the 19th century for its inhabitants' reputed beauty and was a popular subject in Orientalist art. The Circassian lady is typically portrayed in an exotic and romanticized fashion, reflecting the fascination of Western artists with the East and the cultural perceptions of the time.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it falls within the period of Hunt's mature work, when he had established a reputation for his detailed and vivid use of watercolors. The painting is characterized by Hunt's meticulous brushwork and his ability to capture textures and nuances of color, which would have been particularly challenging in the portrayal of fabrics and flesh tones in the Circassian lady's attire and complexion.

The artwork's provenance, current location, and exhibition history are not widely recorded, and it is not among Hunt's most famous works. However, "A Circassian Lady" contributes to the understanding of 19th-century British art, particularly in the context of Orientalism and the depiction of ethnic and cultural diversity by European artists.

As a piece by William Henry Hunt, "A Circassian Lady" would be of interest to scholars studying the artist's oeuvre, as well as those examining the broader themes of Orientalism and the representation of women in art. The painting serves as a testament to Hunt's skill with watercolors and his engagement with the artistic trends of his time.
