About the piece
Painted in 1905, this portrait by Jacques-Émile Blanche captures Lady Michelham with a refined, painterly touch characteristic of the Belle Époque. The sitter is depicted in a voluminous dark gown adorned with shimmering details and layered pearl necklaces, exuding an air of Edwardian sophistication against a dramatic, cloudy backdrop.
