"Masonic Initiation Ceremony of a Lady Freemason" is a historical painting by French artist Maurice Leloir (1853–1940), which depicts a scene from a Masonic initiation ritual specifically for a female participant. Maurice Leloir, known for his detailed historical scenes and costume accuracy, was a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and gained recognition for his illustrations and paintings that often reflected historical and genre subjects.

The painting captures a moment of solemnity and significance within a Masonic lodge, as a woman is being initiated into the mysteries and practices of Freemasonry. The inclusion of a female figure as the central subject in a Masonic context is particularly noteworthy, as traditional Freemasonry has been predominantly male-oriented, with separate female or co-masonic lodges existing outside the mainstream Masonic bodies.

In the artwork, Leloir meticulously portrays the ceremonial attire, regalia, and the interior of the lodge, providing a rich visual document of the Masonic tradition as it might have appeared in a historical or idealized context. The participants are shown in period-appropriate clothing, and the setting includes symbolic elements and artifacts relevant to Masonic rites.

The painting serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the intersection of gender, ritual, and society within the framework of Freemasonry. It offers insight into the artist's interpretation of the secretive and often misunderstood world of Masonic ceremonies, as well as the role of women in such fraternal orders during the time the painting was created.

As an artist, Leloir's contribution to the visual arts and historical illustration has been recognized through his works that are preserved in various museums and private collections. "Masonic Initiation Ceremony of a Lady Freemason" stands as a testament to his artistic skill and his interest in capturing the nuances of historical and societal rituals on canvas.
