The portrait is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Wright excelled, showcasing his skill in capturing the character and social standing of his sitters. Mrs. Hesketh is portrayed with an elegance and refinement befitting a woman of her position in society during the late 18th century.

While the exact date of the painting is not definitively established, it is believed to have been created around 1769, a period when Wright was actively producing portraits for the gentry and the emerging middle class in the Midlands and North of England. The work is noted for its attention to detail, from the luxurious fabrics of Mrs. Hesketh's attire to the subtle interplay of light and shadow on her features, which reflects Wright's interest in the interplay of light, a hallmark of his more famous works such as "An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump" and "The Orrery."

"Mrs. Frances Hesketh, c.1769" is an important piece within Wright's portrait collection, offering insights into the artist's clientele and the social history of the period.
