Original Description
In Sir Francis Grant's magnificent double portrait Annabella Lady Lamington and Frederica Countess of Scarbrough, the viewer is immediately struck by the sumptuous interplay of textures and Regency elegance. Painted in 1834, this oil masterpiece captures two aristocratic women in full-length grandeur amidst a lush garden setting, their silk gowns (one rose-pink, one ice-blue) shimmering against verdant foliage with photographic realism. Grant, the future President of Royal Academy, employs a Raphaelesque composition while infusing Romantic-era vivacity through his virtuosic rendering of lace, pearls, and floral embroidery. The work epitomizes mid-Victorian portraiture’s duality – formal in hierarchy yet intimate in sisterly camaraderie, evidenced by their linked arms. Historically significant as a rare pairing of noblewomen outside royal contexts, its inclusion in the 1862 International Exhibition cemented Grant’s reputation for bridging traditional grandeur with emerging naturalism.
For contemporary spaces, this painting commands attention in formal dining rooms or executive offices with 3.4m ceilings due to its original 147×114 cm vertical format. The rose-and-sage color palette harmonizes beautifully with Farrow & Ball’s Setting Plaster walls or Benjamin Moore’s Palladian Blue, while giltwood frames echo the sitters’ jewelry. Position opposite floor-to-ceiling windows to animate the botanical details with changing light or flank with Biedermeier cabinets to enhance its romantic historicism. In modern contexts, balance its grandeur with clean-lined furnishings like a Knoll credenza and minimalist brass sconces, allowing the artwork’s narrative richness to dominate. For smaller spaces, a museum-quality reproduction above a Georgian-style console table creates an instant focal point – just ensure 60cm clearance from seating areas for optimal viewing of the intricate fabric details.
