Katherine, Countess of Lincoln

James MacArdell after William Hoare

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile of a person, with their upper body visible. The person is positioned in profile facing to the left, with their head tilted slightly forward and downwards. Their facial features include a prominent nose and a rounded chin, with eyes partially visible at this angle. Their hair is styled in evident curls that frame the side of their face. They are wearing a bonnet or large hat adorned with lace, with additional lace visible on a ribbon tied beneath the chin. The person is dressed in a garment with voluminous and flowing fabric, possibly a cloak or cloak-like garment, in smooth and satiny material. The background is a plain, neutral color.
