About the piece
Painted in 1799 by John Hoppner, this portrait depicts Charlotte Clavering, later Mrs. Thomas Pechell. A quintessential example of British Regency portraiture, the work showcases Hoppner's mastery of luminous skin tones and fluid drapery, with the subject's white attire providing a striking focus against the deep, moody background.
