About the piece
Dating to 1787, this striking portrait depicts Charlotte Mary Talbot (Mrs. George Horsley). The composition features a masterful contrast between the luminous textures of her white silk bonnet and the deep, moody tones of the distant horizon, characteristic of high-period British portraiture.
