"Portrait of a Young Lady, Half-Length, in a White Dress and Cap Bonnet Reading from Romeo and Juliet, Feigned Oval" is a distinguished 18th-century painting by the British artist Francis Wheatley. This artwork captures the essence of its era, showcasing Wheatley's adeptness in portraiture and his sensitivity to the subtleties of expression and attire. The painting features a young woman, depicted in a half-length pose, engrossed in reading from Shakespeare's tragic play "Romeo and Juliet." The choice of subject matter reflects the period's fascination with literature and the arts, as well as the romantic ideals that permeated the era.

The subject is adorned in a white dress and a cap bonnet, attire typical of the period, which Wheatley renders with meticulous attention to texture and detail. The feigned oval format, a painting technique used to create the illusion of an oval frame within the canvas, adds an intimate and focused dimension to the portrait, directing the viewer's attention solely to the figure and her engagement with the text.
