"Mrs Worrell as Hebe" is a notable painting by the American-born British artist Benjamin West, created in the late 18th century. This artwork exemplifies West's skill in portraiture and his ability to blend neoclassical themes with contemporary subjects. The painting features Mrs. Worrell, an actress of the period, depicted as Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth. This choice of subject reflects the neoclassical fascination with classical mythology and the idealization of beauty and youth.

Benjamin West, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1738, moved to England in 1763 and became a prominent figure in the British art scene. He was a founding member of the Royal Academy and later served as its president. West was known for his historical paintings, but he also excelled in portraiture, capturing the likenesses of many notable figures of his time.

In "Mrs Worrell as Hebe," West employs a soft, delicate palette and meticulous attention to detail to convey the grace and elegance of the sitter. Mrs. Worrell is portrayed in a flowing, classical gown, holding a cup, which is a traditional attribute of Hebe, who was the cupbearer to the gods. The background of the painting is kept simple, allowing the viewer to focus on the figure of Mrs. Worrell and the serene expression on her face.

This painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural context. It reflects the 18th-century trend of portraying contemporary individuals in the guise of mythological characters, a practice that highlighted the sitter's virtues and aligned them with the timeless qualities of the classical world. "Mrs Worrell as Hebe" is a testament to Benjamin West's versatility as an artist and his ability to infuse his portraits with both historical and personal significance.
