About the piece
Painted by John Hoppner in 1782, this portrait depicts Louisa Lane, famously known as 'Cecilia.' The work exemplifies British portraiture of the Georgian era, featuring Hoppner's characteristic soft lighting and skillful rendering of fabric, from the deep blacks of the cloak to the luminous white of the lace collar.
