Lady Cornewall

Britische Malerei 1780–1810, circa 1785–1786

This painting depicts a seated woman facing the left. She has a pale complexion, rosy cheeks, arched eyebrows, and thin red lips set in a neutral expression. Her hands are resting on her lap. Her hair is gray and styled in stiff curls that extend outward from her head, and she wears a wide-brimmed black hat with a black flower and white feathers. She is dressed in a white dress with a wide skirt under a black jacket or shawl, with a lacy white cravat at her neck. Behind her on the right is a draping red curtain, and on the left is a view of a dark, greenish-blue sky, tall trees, and a brown statue or fountain.
