About the piece
Painted in 1788 by George Romney, this masterly oil portrait depicts Catherine Clemens in the height of 18th-century fashion. She is shown in a flowing, ruffled white gown and a wide-brimmed feathered hat, seated against a soft, atmospheric background of cloudy sky and late-summer foliage. The work exemplifies the luminous, airy style that made Romney one of the era's most sought-after portraitists.
