Bildnis der Gräfin Armfeld mit ihrer Tochter is a 1797 oil by Anton Graff, a Neoclassicism work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts two women, one seated and the other standing. The seated woman wears a blue dress with a green belt and a white head covering, while the standing woman is dressed in a white dress with a blue ribbon around her waist.
