About the piece
Painted around 1740 by the Scottish master Allan Ramsay, this portrait depicts Elizabeth Cunyngham in a magnificent shimmering white gown. Ramsay’s celebrated ability to capture the texture of fine fabrics is on full display in the luminous folds of the satin, complemented by classical garden elements and dramatic drapery that lend the piece a sense of aristocratic grace.
