Description: | A pearl drop decoration sets off the fashionable simplicity of Mrs Littleton's dress. She is holding a drawing folder, suggesting that she was artistically skilled herself. The folder seems to jut out from the edge of the oval surround to the image, helping to create a three-dimensional quality for the picture. Sir Thomas Lawrence was a fashionable portrait painter, who also taught drawing to society clients. Hyacinthe Littleton was the daughter of Richard, Marquis Wellesley. She married Edward Littleton, Member of Parliament for Stafford. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1822 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Sir Thomas Lawrence (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
