About the piece

Created in 1802, this delicate watercolor by Richard Cosway captures the refined elegance of the English Regency period. The subject is depicted in a classic white empire-waist gown and a sheer dark veil, standing beside a stately tree with a serene lake and a distant classical folly completing the romantic scene.
