Portrait of a Lady, formerly called Flora Macdonald is a 1752 oil by Allan Ramsay, a Rococo painting work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This portrait features a woman in a white dress with a blue shawl, adorned with pearls and a blue bow in her hair. Her gaze is directed to the left, and her expression is neutral. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal setting, possibly from the 18th century. The artist's use of oil paint and attention to detail in the subject's clothing and accessories are notable.
