Rachel de Ruvigny, Countess of Southampton is a 1640 oil by Anthony van Dyck, held at National Gallery of Victoria.
This painting shows a woman in a flowing blue dress, sitting on a cloud. She has dark hair and is wearing a pearl necklace. Her right arm rests on a large gold orb, while her left hand holds the edge of her dress. The woman's dress is made of shiny fabric that catches the light, and it drapes elegantly around her body. The background of the painting is dark and cloudy, which makes the woman stand out even more. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Victoria.
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.
