Angelica Kauffmann's "Portrait of Mary Nollekens (1743-1817) in the Guise of Innocence" is a notable example of 18th-century portraiture, reflecting the neoclassical style that Kauffmann was renowned for. Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807) was a Swiss-born Austrian Neoclassical painter who achieved considerable fame and success in her lifetime, being one of the two female founding members of the Royal Academy in London. Her works often depicted historical, mythological, and allegorical subjects, and she was particularly celebrated for her portraits.

The subject of this portrait, Mary Nollekens, was the wife of the prominent British sculptor Joseph Nollekens. Born Mary Welch in 1743, she married Nollekens in 1772 and was known to be a woman of considerable charm and social grace. In this painting, Kauffmann presents Mary Nollekens in a manner that emphasizes purity and innocence, aligning with the neoclassical ideals of beauty and virtue. The title "in the Guise of Innocence" suggests an allegorical representation, where Mary is depicted not just as herself but embodying the abstract quality of innocence.

Kauffmann's technique in this portrait is characterized by her delicate brushwork and the soft, harmonious color palette, which were hallmarks of her style. The composition is carefully balanced, with Mary Nollekens positioned in a serene and contemplative pose, her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer, which adds a sense of introspection and modesty. The background is typically understated, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject's expression and attire, which are rendered with meticulous detail.

This portrait not only serves as a testament to Kauffmann's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural and social milieu of the time. It reflects the neoclassical fascination with idealized forms and the moral virtues associated with classical antiquity. Through this work, Kauffmann contributes to the visual narrative of 18th-century portraiture, where personal identity and allegorical representation often intersected.
