About the piece
Dating to 1768, this oil portrait is a masterful example of Georgian-era elegance. The artist, John Russell, captures the subject with remarkable sensitivity, focusing on the intricate textures of her white lace bonnet and the contrasting black lace of her shawl. The composition is framed by a feigned oval and accented by a heraldic crest in the upper corner, lending a scholarly and heritage-rich feel to the piece.
