About the piece
Attributed to the English court painter John Riley, this refined oil portrait depicts Frances Hale within a trompe-l'oeil oval border. The sitter’s delicate features are highlighted by the deep contrast of her saturated blue dress and the rich red mantle draped over her shoulder, exemplifying the stately elegance of the late Baroque period.
