Signed lower left, "E. Brown' and dated 'May, 1844'.
A fine, mid-nineteenth century portrait of a lady of quality wearing the hairstyle made popular by Queen Victoria in the early years of her reign; the lady shown relaxed, standing beside a velvet-draped, Neo-Classical column and wearing a satin ball-gown. To the left, the view recedes towards a cultivated garden, gently lit by a late-evening sunset. The artist has accomplished a bravura feat of portraiture, investing his subject with both poise and great sweetness of temperament.
