About the piece

Attributed to Thomas Hudson, this 1740 portrait exemplifies the refined elegance of English Baroque portraiture. The artist masterfully captures the tactile quality of the sitter's shimmering blue silk dress and the intricate detail of her lace cap, set against a warm, atmospheric background.
