About the piece
Painted in 1776 by Nathaniel Hone the Elder, this portrait of Frances Cole captures the refined elegance of the late 18th century. The sitter is depicted with a soft, contemplative expression, her features framed by a delicate sheer veil that showcases the artist's mastery of light and texture.
