Portrait of Elizabeth Farren, Later Countess of Derby is an oil on canvas painting by Thomas Lawrence.[1] Produced before 1791 and probably in 1790, it is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, to which it was donated by Edward S. Harkness in 1940.[2] As its title suggests, its subject Elizabeth Farren married Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby in 1797, seven years after the painting.
