About the piece

Painted in 1787 by the renowned English master Sir Joshua Reynolds, this portrait depicts Selina, Lady Skipwith in a moment of refined repose. The artist employs his signature 'Grand Style,' contrasting the delicate, shimmering textures of her white silk gown and powdered hair against a moody, deep-blue twilight landscape.
