The artwork titled “Emma Hart (1765–1815), as Miranda” was painted by George Romney in the year 1786. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is a portrait genre.
In the artwork, a young woman, identified as Emma Hart, is presented with an expression of wistful longing or contemplation. The subject, with auburn hair, gazes upward, her face illuminated against a dark, shadowy background. The brushwork around her hair appears soft and fluid, adding to the ethereal quality of the piece. The overall atmosphere created by Romney’s use of light and shadow emphasizes the dramatic and emotional undertones characteristic of the Romanticism movement.
