Description: | One of a set of six paintings probably done to the order of Lord George Henry Lennox, Colonel of the 25th Regiment of Foot. Lady Louisa Lennox is shown seated in the centre of the painting, wearing a red coat and skirt in a military fashion with the orange facings of the 25th Foot and the gold lace that also appears on her husband's uniform. She also wears a gold sash over her waistcoat instead of the usual officer's crimson sash. The green foliage on the headdresses indicates a victory or special day. The painting is unsigned and undated but is attributed to Giuseppe Ignacio Maria Chiesa (1720-89) although the set are believed to be by different artists and are of varying quality. | Subjects: | Lord; Johnson Major-General James (?)); figure; military and war; landscape; marine; place (Fort St Philip portrait (Lennox Lady Louisa; Lennox Port Mahon); animal (dog; horse) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Chiesa, Giuseppe Ignacio Maria (Italian artist, 1720-89) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8594... | Go to resource |
