Portrait of Countess Potocka is an oil on canvas painting by German artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter, created in 1854.

[1][2] Winterhalter was a painter who received many commissions from the various European courts and therefore also from the aristocracy of his time.

The pictured, Countess Potocka (1825-1907), belonged to the wealthy nobility of Poland and was a member of the Branicki family.

The Countess Potocka is depicted here in an oriental costume in a three-quarter size, in the painter's favorite format, an oval.

The costume is taken from the exile the couple had spent in the Middle East after Adam Potocka was accused, incorrectly, of an 1848 bombing.
