EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Frances Holburne nee Ball, a woman of high social standing in 18th-century England. Painted by Joshua Reynolds or one of his followers, this oil on canvas print showcases Frances in all her glory. Frances Holburne was born in Barbados to Guy Ball, a wealthy plantation owner. Her upbringing in the Caribbean undoubtedly influenced her refined taste and glamorous style. In her youth, she married Edward Lascelles of Harewood House, Yorkshire, with whom she had a son who would later become Earl of Harewood. After the death of her first husband, Frances entered into a second marriage with Admiral Francis Holburne. This union further elevated her status within British society. The painting portrays Frances donning an exquisite drapery gown adorned with fur trim and accessorized with pearls—a symbol of wealth and sophistication during that era. Her powdered hair is meticulously styled while delicate lilac hues accentuate her features against a backdrop of soft grey tones. A fur collar adds an extra touch of luxury to her ensemble as she gazes confidently at the viewer. Now housed at The Holburne Museum in Bath, UK, this artwork serves as a testament to both Frances' beauty and the artistic talent prevalent during the Georgian period.
