The artwork, titled “Lady Elizabeth Foster,” was created by Angelica Kauffman in 1785. This portrait, composed with oil on canvas, belongs to the Rococo art movement and exemplifies the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, Lady Elizabeth Foster is depicted seated in a contemplative pose. She wears a voluminous white dress adorned with delicate ruffles and a broad, stylish hat embellished with feathers. Her attire, along with the serene expression on her face, suggests an air of elegance and refinement. The background features a lush, verdant landscape, punctuated by a distant view of water and rolling hills, bathed in the warm, golden hues typical of the Rococo style. The overall composition combines naturalism and idealized beauty, characteristic of Kauffman’s art.
