About the piece
Painted around 1770 by Joseph Wright of Derby, this formal portrait showcases the artist's renown for dramatic lighting and material realism. The subject is depicted in a lustrous pink silk dress, accented by delicate lace and a rich golden-yellow curtain that adds warmth and depth to the neoclassical composition.
