"Of Sir Peter Lely A Portrait Of A Gentleman, Bust Length, Wearing Armour, In A Painted Oval" is a 17th-century oil painting by the renowned Dutch-born artist Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680), who became one of the leading court painters in England. This work exemplifies Lely's skill in portraiture, particularly in capturing the aristocracy and notable figures of the English Restoration period. The painting depicts an unidentified gentleman, shown from the bust up, clad in armour, which suggests his status and possibly a military role. The subject is framed within a painted oval, a stylistic device often used by Lely to focus attention on the sitter and add a sense of intimacy to the portrait.

Sir Peter Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was a prolific painter whose works were highly sought after by the English gentry and royalty. He was appointed Principal Painter to Charles I and continued to serve the royal court under Charles II. Lely's portraits are characterized by their elegance and refinement, often capturing the opulence and decadence of the era. His portrayal of textures, particularly in the rendering of fabrics and armour, as well as his nuanced approach to flesh tones, are evident in this portrait.

The painting is a testament to Lely's influence on British portraiture and his ability to convey both the power and the personal qualities of his subjects. While the identity of the gentleman in the armour remains unknown, the work stands as a representative example of Lely's portraiture style, which combined elements of Dutch realism with the more relaxed and informal English approach to portrait painting. The artwork remains an important piece for understanding the visual culture and societal values of the English Restoration period.
