About the piece
Painted by Francis Wheatley around 1775, this full-length portrait depicts Mrs. Bentley in the refined style of the English Enlightenment. She is shown in a shimmering pale blue gown accented with fine lace and a delicate black shawl, standing poised before a classical stone plinth and a lush, tree-lined landscape that recedes into a soft distant horizon.
