| Description |
This portrait must date from c. 1800 when the sitter was 23. It is executed in a formula devised by Reynolds and Romney in the 1770s to express a young lady’s simplicity and sensibility. The white dress, veil and strings of pearls are simple and unaffected; the tender posture, dreamy smile, flushed cheeks and natural setting convey the sitter’s fine feelings. |
