Description: | Jane Monck is around fourteen years old in this picture, which was painted by the Derby artist Joseph Wright. She is wearing an idealised costume intended to create an air of timeless elegance. Her pose and style of dress are almost exactly the same as an earlier portrait of Anne, Countess of Northampton by Thomas Hudson (also in the collection). Joseph Wright had been Thomas Hudson's pupil, and would have studied Hudson's drawings. Jane Monck later married Sir William Middleton of Belsay Hall, Northumberland. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1760 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Joseph Wright | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
