"Portrait of a Lady in Black Dress" is a notable 17th-century oil painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Nicolaes Maes, a student of Rembrandt van Rijn. This artwork exemplifies Maes's adeptness in portraiture, a genre he pursued with increasing focus after his initial period of producing genre scenes. The painting is distinguished by its sensitive rendering of the subject, a woman dressed in a black gown, which was a common signifier of status and fashion among the Dutch bourgeoisie.

The portrait is characterized by Maes's attention to the textural contrasts between the luxurious fabrics and the soft flesh of the sitter, as well as the interplay of light and shadow that reveals the influence of his mentor, Rembrandt. The sitter's identity remains unknown, but her confident gaze and the refined execution of her attire suggest she was a person of some significance. The use of a dark palette, with the black dress dominating the composition, is offset by the delicate lace collar and cuffs, which showcase Maes's skill in depicting intricate details.

"Portrait of a Lady in Black Dress" is a testament to Nicolaes Maes's transition from genre painting to portraiture and reflects the cultural and societal preoccupations of the Dutch Republic during its Golden Age. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the artist's mature work. It continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and as a representation of 17th-century Dutch portraiture.
