About the piece
Painted around 1835 by British artist Thomas Phillips, this portrait of Elizabeth Howard showcases a masterful command of texture and light. The subject is depicted in a moment of quiet dignity, wearing a fashionable black dress of the period featuring voluminous sheer sleeves and intricate lace detailing. Set against a classical background of a stone pillar and a soft, atmospheric landscape, the work epitomizes the elegance and poise of the Romantic era.
