Portrait of Marquise Lomellini, with her children at prayer is a 1623 oil by Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting features a woman in a long black dress with a ruffled collar and cuffs, standing in front of a dark background. She is surrounded by three children, two of whom are dressed in white and appear to be praying. The third child, who is younger, stands to the left of the group. The woman's attire and the children's actions suggest a sense of formality and devotion. The dark background and the use of muted colors add to the overall somber tone of the painting. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
Sir Anthony van Dyck (; Dutch: Antoon van Dijck ; 22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist, who became the leading court painter in England after success in the Spanish Netherlands and Italy.
