EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and captivating portrait, Adelaide Russell, later known as Baroness Ribblesdale and Countess Russell, is depicted in her prime. Born Adelaide Lister in 1807, she was the daughter of the 1st Earl of Lister. In 1828, Adelaide married Thomas, the second Baron Ribblesdale, and the portrait likely dates from this period. The painting showcases Adelaide's refined beauty and grace, with her piercing gaze and delicate features. Her elegant attire, adorned with intricate lace and a stunning diamond necklace, further emphasizes her aristocratic status. However, Adelaide's life was far from ordinary. In 1833, her husband, Baron Ribblesdale, passed away, leaving her a widow at the young age of 26. Just five years later, in 1838, she married John Russell, who would later become the 1st Earl Russell. This union brought her into the prominent Russell family, one of the most influential political dynasties in British history. Despite the challenges and changes in her life, Adelaide remained a figure of elegance and poise. Her story is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of women in the aristocracy during the 19th century. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, whose legacy continues to be celebrated in the annals of British history.
