EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Mrs Mary Knowles, a prominent figure of the Georgian era. Painted by William Hoare of Bath, this oil on canvas portrait captures her essence and influence. Mrs Mary Knowles (1733-1807) was not just an ordinary woman; she was a scholarly Quaker who left an indelible mark on society. Known for her correspondence with esteemed figures such as Samuel Johnson, Henry Moyes, and Dr William Withering, she held great intellectual prowess. A feminist ahead of her time, Mrs Mary Knowles used her writing to challenge societal norms and advocate for women's rights. Her literary contributions were profound and continue to inspire generations of female writers. In this painting, we see a glimpse into the world of this influential woman. The artist has expertly captured both her strength and vulnerability in his brushstrokes. With an air of confidence emanating from her gaze, it is evident that Mrs Mary Knowles possessed a powerful presence. Displayed at Chawton House Library in Hampshire, UK - a fitting tribute to one who contributed so much to literature - this portrait serves as a reminder of the impact one person can have on history. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, let us celebrate the life and legacy of Mrs Mary Knowles – writer extraordinaire and champion for change.
