Artist: George Romney (1734-1802) Description: This exquisite half-length profile portrait, created by renowned British artist George Romney, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the eighteenth century. The woman, dressed in fashionable clothing of the Rococo era, gazes off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. Her brown hair, styled in intricate curls, cascades down her shoulders, adding to her allure. The portrait is rendered in red chalk on tan laid paper, with delicate shading and fine lines that bring the subject to life.
