About the piece

Created around 1700 by the renowned portraitist Sir Godfrey Kneller, this oil painting depicts Lady Mary Berkeley in a classic feigned oval composition. The work demonstrates the artist's masterful handling of light and texture, particularly in the shimmering green silk of her gown and the delicate lace of her neckline, embodying the refined elegance of the English Baroque era.
