Portrait of P. Lenéve, Alderman of Norwich is a 1656 oil by Peter Lely, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Walters Art Museum.
The painting depicts a man standing in front of a stone column, wearing a black robe with gold trim and a white collar. His right hand rests on his chest, while his left hand holds a pair of gloves. The background features a dark wall with a red curtain on the left side. The man's attire and the column suggest a formal setting, possibly a government or religious institution. The artist's use of oil paint and attention to detail create a sense of realism in the portrait.
