About the piece

Painted in 1762, this masterful portrait by Joshua Reynolds depicts Lady Cecil Rice with a quiet dignity characteristic of the English Rococo style. Set against a soft, atmospheric landscape, she is dressed in a shimmering white gown accented by a delicate rose, demonstrating the artist's celebrated ability to capture both the likeness and the refined social status of his sitters.
