Portrait of Doris McIntyre is a 1908 oil by Raymond McIntyre, a Impressionism work, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
This painting features a woman's profile, turned to the right. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a white dress with a high neckline and a red or pink trim around the collar. The background is a muted beige color. The artist's use of oil paint creates a soft, subtle effect, with visible brushstrokes adding texture to the work. The overall mood is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the subject's serene expression.
