"Portrait Of A Lady, A Member Of The Throckmorton Family - After William Hoare, R.A." is an exquisite mezzotint engraving by the renowned British engraver and painter John Raphael Smith. This artwork is a reproduction of an original portrait by William Hoare of Bath, a distinguished 18th-century portraitist and a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts. The subject of the portrait is a lady from the Throckmorton family, an English Catholic family with a long and storied history.

John Raphael Smith, born in 1751, was a prominent figure in the British art scene, particularly known for his mastery in the mezzotint technique. Mezzotint, a printmaking process that allows for the creation of rich, tonal gradations, was a popular medium in the 18th century for reproducing paintings. Smith's skill in this technique is evident in the delicate rendering of the lady's features and the intricate details of her attire, capturing the elegance and refinement characteristic of Hoare's original work.

William Hoare, the original artist, was celebrated for his ability to convey the grace and dignity of his sitters. His portraits often featured members of the British aristocracy and gentry, and his works were highly sought after during his lifetime. The Throckmorton family, to which the lady in the portrait belongs, has a significant place in British history, known for their loyalty to the Catholic faith during a period of religious turbulence in England.

The collaboration between Hoare's original artistry and Smith's engraving expertise results in a work that not only preserves the likeness of the sitter but also serves as a testament to the artistic practices and collaborations of the 18th century. This portrait is a valuable piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the social and artistic milieu of its time.
