The artwork titled “Anna Maria Hunt (c.1771–1861), the Honourable Mrs Charles Agar Bagenal” was created by the artist George Romney in the year 1793. It belongs to the Rococo art movement and falls under the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a young woman, Anna Maria Hunt, seated gracefully in a serene, natural setting. She is dressed elegantly in a white gown, which accentuates the delicate and refined aesthetic characteristic of the Rococo period. Beside her is a dog with a collar inscribed with the name “Dragon.” The background suggests a lush, verdant landscape, subtly illuminated to enhance the overall softness and tranquility of the scene. The meticulous attention to detail and the gentle interplay of light and shadow exemplify Romney’s skill in capturing the grace and poise of his subjects.
