Painting Description
"Lady Grace Burnaby" is a miniature portrait by British artist George Engleheart. The artist was one of the most prominent miniaturists of his time, having created an impressive 4,900 works throughout his career. This particular piece showcases Engleheart's proficiency in capturing intricate facial features and other details.
The subject of the painting, Lady Grace Burnaby, was an aristocrat from the prominent Burnaby family, and the wife of Sir Richard Lovell Edgeworth. As such, she also held the title of Lady Edgeworth. While there is little information about her specific relationship with the artist, it is recorded that Engleheart painted many portraits of high society figures during his career.
Engleheart's depictions of his subjects often centre on the clothes and accoutrements they wore, providing a visual record of the fashions of the period. "Lady Grace Burnaby" is no exception, with Lady Burnaby's elegantly patterned dress and statement jewellery playing a crucial role in the miniature.
The artwork, rendered in watercolour on ivory, demonstrates Engleheart's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of colour and light. It remains an important part of his oeuvre and provides a glimpse into the personal style and status of a notable figure from late-18th-century Britain. Being from a genre that historically emphasised the status of the sitter and the skill of the artist, "Lady Grace Burnaby" offers important insights into the social and cultural dynamics of the era. Currently, the location of the artwork and its ownership status is not publicly recorded.
While the precise date of the portrait's creation is not definitively known, it is believed to fall within the period of Engleheart's prime, which spanned the 1770s to the 1790s. His virtuosity and timeless style signify the miniature portrait style of this period, earning him a revered place in the annals of English portrait miniaturists.
