The Countess of Darnley and her Daughter, Lady Elizabeth Bligh is a 1798 oil by John Hoppner, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting depicts a woman and a young girl in a lush, outdoor setting. The woman, dressed in a green dress with a white, off-the-shoulder neckline, sits with her left arm around the girl. The girl, wearing a brown dress, stands barefoot on a rock, her right arm resting on the woman's shoulder. In the background, trees and bushes are visible, with a glimpse of a body of water in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and intimacy.
