EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Mrs Littleton, painted by Thomas Lawrence in 1822, exudes elegance and sophistication. The oil on canvas print captures her timeless beauty with remarkable precision. Mrs Littleton, born Hyacinthe Wellesley, was the daughter of Richard Marquis Wellesley and went on to marry Edward Littleton, a Member of Parliament for Stafford. In this painting, Mrs Littleton is depicted in a half-length seated pose against an oval backdrop. Her curly hair cascades gracefully around her face, framing her delicate features. Dressed in a fashionable white gown adorned with a pearl drop decoration, she epitomizes the refined style of the era. What sets this portrait apart is the inclusion of a drawing folder held delicately in Mrs Littleton's hand. This detail suggests not only her artistic skill but also adds depth and dimension to the image itself. The folder appears to extend beyond the edge of the oval surround, creating an intriguing three-dimensional effect. Displayed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. , this masterpiece from Lawrence showcases his mastery as a portraitist. Through his brushstrokes and attention to detail, he immortalized Mrs Littleton's grace and poise for generations to come. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both Lawrence's artistry and Mrs Littleton's timeless allure captured within this exquisite painting.
