About the piece
Painted around 1740 by George Knapton, this charming portrait depicts a woman in the guise of a shepherdess, a popular motif of the Georgian period. She is shown wearing a broad straw hat tied with blue ribbons and holding a staff wreathed in flowers, rendered with the soft, luminous touch characteristic of 18th-century British portraiture.
