About the piece
Created by Francis Cotes around 1755, this refined pastel portrait depicts Lady Mary Radcliffe. The work demonstrates Cotes' mastery of the medium, capturing the delicate textures of her ermine-trimmed gown, shimmering gold embroidery, and the soft sheen of her pearls and feathers against a muted background.
