Portrait of Elizabeth, Countess of Bridgewater (1689-1714) is a 1712 oil by Charles Jervas, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This portrait depicts a woman standing in front of a desk, wearing a long, dark blue dress with a white underskirt and a matching head covering. She holds a piece of paper in her right hand and has a quill pen tucked behind her head. The background is a muted, brownish-gray color. The woman's attire and the desk suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The quill pen and paper imply that she may be engaged in writing or reading.
