Painting Description
"Elisabeth Farren, Later Countess of Derby" is an oil on canvas portrait by the renowned English painter Sir Thomas Lawrence. Painted in 1790, this artwork captures the likeness of the celebrated actress Elisabeth Farren (1759–1829) who was a prominent figure in London's theatrical circles during the late 18th century. Before her marriage to the 12th Earl of Derby, Edward Smith-Stanley, in 1797, Farren was an acclaimed comedic actress known for her performances at the Drury Lane Theatre.
The portrait is a testament to Lawrence's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the elegance and social standing of his subjects. In this work, Lawrence depicts Farren in a moment of poised theatricality, dressed in fashionable attire that reflects her status and the styles of the period. Her pose and expression exude the grace and confidence befitting a woman of her reputation in society and the arts.
The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value. It provides insight into the fashion and societal norms of the time, as well as the role of women in the arts and their transition into aristocracy through marriage. "Elisabeth Farren, Later Countess of Derby" is a fine example of Lawrence's early portraiture, showcasing the soft color palette and delicate brushwork that would later become hallmarks of his mature style.
The portrait is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be studied and admired for its portrayal of one of the era's most fascinating theatrical personalities and for its representation of the artistic and social milieu of late 18th-century England.
