About the piece
Painted by Thomas Hudson around 1745, this formal portrait captures Mrs. John Wendt in a moment of poised elegance. Dressed in a striking blue satin gown with delicate lace ruffles, she stands against a dark, atmospheric landscape. The inclusion of a loyal dog and a basket of flowers adds a touch of personal warmth to this masterful example of English portraiture.
