Lady Dorothy Browne and Sir Thomas Browne is an oil-on-panel painting attributed to English painter
Joan Carlile and probably completed between 1641 and 1650. It depicts
Thomas Browne, the son of a merchant from
Cheshire, who eventually became a physician and author in
Norwich; and his wife Dorothy Browne (
née Mileham), who came from a land-owning family in Norfolk. The two Brownes are portrayed in contrasting styles, with Lady Dorothy looking directly at the viewer with a pleasant expression while Sir Thomas appears to be staring into the distance. The painting is in the permanent collection of the
National Portrait Gallery, London.
