About the piece

This ethereal oil portrait by Richard Westall captures Lady Hamilton in the allegorical role of Saint Cecilia. Bathed in a soft, atmospheric light, she gazes upward with an expression of divine inspiration, her shimmering white gown and headscarf contrasting beautifully against the moody background.
