Annetta Coke

Britische Malerei 1657–1778, 1758

This painting depicts a seated woman looking off to the left, resting her head on her right hand, our left, with her elbow on an abstract green surface. She has a fair complexion, a long nose, pale eyebrows, pale lips in a neutral expression, and reddish-brown hair styled up with a blue clip. She is wearing a pale mauve dress and shawl with a deep neckline, blue-green ribbon details, and puffed sleeves. A thin black belt is tied around her waist and there is a silver bracelet on her forearm. The background is painted in soft shades of blue and green, with a few highlights of pale yellow. An inscription in gold lettering in the top left corner identifies her as "Annetta D. of Edward Coke, wife of Lewis Cage of Milgate Kent."
