The "Portrait of Mrs Udy or 'Beauty Embraced by Sleep'" is an exquisite painting created around 1804 by the renowned British artist Richard Cosway. Richard Cosway (1742-1821) was a leading portrait painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, celebrated for his delicate and refined style, which captured the elegance and grace of his subjects. Cosway was a prominent figure in the art world of his time, known for his association with the Prince Regent, later King George IV, and his role as Principal Painter in Ordinary to the Prince.

This particular work, "Portrait of Mrs Udy or 'Beauty Embraced by Sleep'," exemplifies Cosway's mastery in portraying the ethereal beauty and serene repose of his sitters. The painting depicts a young woman, presumably Mrs. Udy, in a state of peaceful slumber, embodying the Romantic ideal of beauty intertwined with nature and tranquility. The title itself, "Beauty Embraced by Sleep," suggests a poetic and almost mythological interpretation of the subject, aligning with the Romantic fascination with themes of innocence, purity, and the sublime.

Cosway's technique in this portrait is characterized by his use of soft, delicate brushstrokes and a luminous palette, which together create a dreamlike quality. The sitter's features are rendered with exquisite detail, highlighting her delicate complexion and serene expression. The background, often a significant element in Cosway's works, is subtly rendered to enhance the focus on the subject, contributing to the overall sense of calm and introspection.

The painting is a testament to Cosway's ability to blend technical skill with a deep sensitivity to the emotional and aesthetic qualities of his subjects. It remains a significant example of early 19th-century portraiture, reflecting the cultural and artistic values of the period. As with many of Cosway's works, "Portrait of Mrs Udy or 'Beauty Embraced by Sleep'" continues to be admired for its beauty, craftsmanship, and the timeless elegance it conveys.
