About the piece
Painted around 1780, this portrait by George Romney captures Mrs. Andrew Reid in a graceful, informal pose characteristic of the era's 'Grand Manner.' She is depicted in a fashionable white muslin gown accented by a striking blue silk sash, leaning against a classical stone plinth. The background features a soft, atmospheric wooded landscape with a turbulent sky, showcasing Romney's masterful brushwork and sensitive treatment of light.
