The painting measures an impressive 219.7 x 153.7 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA. The subject of this exquisite artwork is Elizabeth Linley, an English soprano who lived from 1754 to 1792. She was famously known as the wife of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, a prominent playwright and politician during that era. In this full-length seated portrait, Mrs. Sheridan exudes elegance and grace while wearing a stunning Georgian costume that reflects the fashion trends of the time period.
