About The Honourable Charlotte Clive (1762–1795)

The artwork, titled “The Honourable Charlotte Clive (1762–1795),” was created by George Romney in 1785. This portrait, which belongs to the Rococo art movement, exudes the period’s characteristic elegance and refinement.

The portrait depicts Charlotte Clive, a young woman, seated in a serene and contemplative posture. She is adorned in a flowing yellow dress with a pale blue sash, adding a touch of soft color contrast to the composition. Her hair is styled with gentle curls, and she gazes off to the side, which infuses the artwork with a sense of depth and introspection. The background features delicate foliage and a clear sky, faintly blurred, drawing attention to the subject’s poised demeanor. The subtle play of light and shadow across her garments and features showcases Romney’s skill in rendering texture and form, encapsulating the Rococo movement’s emphasis on grace and beauty.
