About the piece
Painted in 1748 by Francis Hayman, this portrait captures Mary Chauncey in a moment of repose. She wears a striking yellow satin gown, its fabric rendered with a masterfully luminous sheen. The setting—a garden featuring a stone pedestal and a classical cherub statue—reflects the refined tastes of the English Enlightenment era.
