About the piece
Painted in 1771 by George Willison, this striking portrait depicts Anne Parsons (known as Nancy Parsons) in the popular 'Turquerie' fashion of the era. She is shown in a luminous white silk gown with a jeweled belt, reclining against deep blue cushions. The work is a masterful example of British Enlightenment-era portraiture, capturing both the personality of the sitter and the luxurious textures of her orientalist costume.
