About The Lady Rouse Boughton

“The Lady Rouse Boughton,” painted by George Romney in 1787, is a distinguished work belonging to the Rococo art movement and falls within the genre of portraiture. The artwork exudes elegance and poise, capturing the refined beauty of the subject.

In the artwork, a woman is portrayed leaning gracefully against a pillar in a serene outdoor setting. Her white dress, adorned with delicate golden embroidery at the sleeves and hem, cascades to the ground, embodying the flowing, decorative aesthetic typical of the Rococo style. A light blue sash cinches her waist, accentuating the airy and graceful nature of her attire. Her hair is styled in loose, voluminous curls, and she gazes directly at the viewer with a composed expression. The backdrop features a softly lit woodland scene, complementing the tranquil and genteel atmosphere of the composition. The fine details in both her attire and the surrounding environment demonstrate Romney’s skill and meticulous attention to detail, epitomizing the elegance and charm characteristic of Rococo portraiture.
