DESCRIPTION: This delicate mezzotint showcases the refined elegance of Marcia Mary Anne Arbuthnot, born Lisle. Rendered by Reynolds from Hoppner’s original painting, the composition exudes a graceful restraint typical of late Georgian portraiture. The tonal richness and subtle gradations of light and shadow characteristic of mezzotint bring a soft, lifelike presence to her visage, underscoring her genteel status and genteel poise.

CONDITION: Good condition, toned with age.
