About the piece
Painted by George Romney around 1783, this portrait of Lady Arabella Ward exemplifies the refined elegance of the Georgian era. The subject is depicted with a gentle expression, her powdered hair framed by a voluminous teal hat that provides a beautiful contrast to the warm, neutral background and her dark gown.
