The artwork entitled “Dorothea Bland (1762–1816), ‘Mrs. Jordan’, as ‘Peggy’ in ‘The Country Girl'” is a portrait created by George Romney in the year 1787. This piece is representative of the Rococo art movement and showcases a notable figure from that period in character as Peggy from the play “The Country Girl.”
In this portrait, the subject stands gracefully in a classic Rococo fashion, exuding elegance and poise. She is depicted with a gentle, serene expression, turning slightly to her left and hands clasped delicately at her waist. The subject is adorned in a simple yet refined white dress with a subtle green sash tied around her waist, which cascades with the natural folds of the fabric. The background features a soft interplay of light and shadow, contributing to the overall warmth and charm of the artwork. This portrait not only highlights the artistic style of George Romney but also captures the artistic ideals and aesthetic values of the Rococo era.
