Henrietta Diana (1728–1761), Dowager Countess of Stafford is a 1759 oil by Allan Ramsay, a Rococo painting work, held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a brown dress with white lace gloves and a matching brown fur-trimmed shawl. Her hair is styled in an updo, adorned with a red and brown floral arrangement. The background features a blue curtain with a tassel hanging from the top left corner. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal setting, possibly a portrait session. The artist's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a sense of intimacy and elegance.
