In this exquisite print by William Dickinson, we see Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, and her sister Henrietta Ponsonby, Countess of Bessborough, portrayed with grace and elegance. Set against a picturesque outdoor backdrop on a sunlit terrace, the two women are depicted sitting side by side. Their oval-shaped portraits symbolize their status as confidants and trusted companions. The neoclassical influence is evident in their attire and poses - a nod to the artistic trends of the time. Georgiana Cavendish exudes regal charm with her poise and refined features. Known for her influential role in society circles during the late 18th century, she was not only admired for her beauty but also revered for her intelligence and political acumen. Henrietta Ponsonby complements Georgiana's allure with her own graceful presence. As Viscountess of Beesborough and later Countess of Bessborough, she too held an esteemed position within aristocratic circles. This enchanting engraving pays homage to Maria Anna Angelika Kauffmann's original painting while adding its own unique touch through William Dickinson's skillful craftsmanship. Published in The Connoisseur Volume L in 1918, this print continues to captivate art enthusiasts even today.
