Description |
Hand-colored 1891 mezzotint engraving by Henry T Greenhead of Lawrence's portrait of Lady Elizabeth Leveson-Gower, later Marchioness of Westminster, wife of the 2nd Marquess of Westminster. Lawrence's portrait was painted when she was 21, before her marriage. Charles Robert Leslie considered this portrait to be "the most beautiful of Lawrence's female heads," and a perfect example of how his best portraits were sometimes the ones he worked on only briefly. Lawrence completed this portrait in one two-hour sitting. In 1881, Lady Westminster recalled Lawrence and her sitting for the portrait 63 years before: Lawrence painted her seated half-length, body facing front with head turned in three-quarter profile to right; wearing a sheer gauze over-dress with long full ruffled sleeves over a white satin slip with short puffed sleeves and a thin blue sash under the bust, no jewels except for a small brooch at the bust, and her black hair in a topknot with ringlets. |

Notes |
An engraving of this portrait (by J. Thomson) was first published in 1825 as Lady Elizabeth Belgrave, which was her title at the time. An engraving by Robert Graves was published by Longman in 1829, as Viscountess Belgrave. An engraving by Samuel Cousins was published by Colnaghi in 1833 and by Henry Graves 1844 as Elizabeth, Countess Grosvenor. Also in 1833 it was engraved by Charles Turner. It was engraved in 1891 by Henry T Greenhead as Elizabeth, Countess Grosvenor. In 1954 the Duke of Norfolk held a painted replica (by Lawrence's hand). |
