Miss Elizabeth Farren, Countess of Derby

Francesco Bartolozzi after Sir Thomas Lawrence

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing outdoors on a grassy area. The person is turned slightly to the side with their head facing the viewer. They have soft facial features framed by curly hair styled in a voluminous manner, with some curls resting on their forehead. The person is wearing an elegant, long flowing dress with a luxurious fur-trimmed wrap draped around the shoulders. They are holding a large, round fur muff with their gloved hands. The background shows a serene landscape with clusters of trees and a distant horizon under a subtly clouded sky.
