The Hon. Mrs. Gray

Britische Malerei 1780–1810, vers 1785/1790

This is a painting of a woman who is depicted from the waist up. She is positioned sitting or leaning with her head turned to the right. She has pale-yellow skin, and her facial features include red lips and dark eyebrows. Her hair is light brown or perhaps gray, styled in loose waves that frame her face. The woman is wearing a yellow dress with a deep neckline adorned with lace, and a brown belt is cinching her waist. She holds a small bunch of flowers with red petals close to her neck, and there is a red ribbon around her wrist. The background is dark and abstract, with hints of greenery or foliage.
