Portrait of Beatrix Pacheco, Countess of Montbel und Entremonts is a 1550 oil by Jean Clouet, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Städel Museum.
This portrait shows a woman with a gentle expression, wearing a black dress with red and white sleeves. She has a cross hanging from her neck, and her dark hair is styled in a bob with a headband. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal, possibly aristocratic, setting. The painting's use of oil paint and the subject's elegant clothing hint at a high level of craftsmanship.
