About the piece
Painted in 1757, this masterful portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds captures Miss Mary Pelham in a sophisticated arrangement of dark tones and rich textures. The composition is defined by the sharp contrast between her pale features and her black hooded cloak, punctuated by the vivid turquoise of her fur muff and delicate lace detailing at her wrists.
