Lady Elizabeth Kytson is a 1573 oil by George Gower, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Gallery.
This painting depicts a woman in a red and white dress, adorned with black embroidery and a black collar. Her attire is complemented by a black hat featuring a large white feather. The woman's hands are clasped together in front of her, and she wears a necklace and a bracelet. The background of the painting is solid black. The woman's dress and hat suggest that she is a member of the upper class, and the level of detail in her clothing implies that the painting was created with great care. The use of black and white in the background creates a sense of contrast with the colorful dress. The painting is held at the Tate Britain.
