The artwork, titled “Mrs Newbery,” is a portrait created in 1784 by the artist George Romney. It belongs to the Rococo art movement and is characterized by its elegant and graceful composition.
The artwork depicts a woman with an air of refined elegance and grace. She is adorned in period attire, with a light-colored dress that is complemented by a soft, translucent scarf draped around her shoulders and secured with a delicate bow at the neckline. Her hair is styled in an elaborate fashion typical of the late 18th century, adding to the sophistication of her appearance. The background of the portrait is kept relatively subdued, ensuring that the viewer’s focus remains on the subject. The use of light and shadow highlights the delicate features of her face and the textures of her garments, showcasing Romney’s skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the subtle expressions of his sitter.
