"Mrs. Gwyn" is a mezzotint print by British artist John Young, created in 1791. The print depicts Mrs. Gwyn, an unidentified woman, in a three-quarter profile portrait, gazing off to the left of the viewer. She wears a white gown with her hair styled in the elaborate fashion popular in the late 18th century. The background features a landscape with trees, lending a sense of natural elegance to the portrait. The print, which measures 12 1/16 × 9 1/8 inches, is currently part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
