About the piece
Painted in 1753 by Francis Cotes, this portrait depicts Miss C. Walpole, who later became the Countess of Dysart. The work showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the sheen and texture of fine fabrics, specifically the shimmering teal silk and delicate lace of the subject's gown, which stands in dramatic contrast to the dark, atmospheric background.
