EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Miss Dixie" takes us back to the elegance and opulence of the mid-18th century. Painted by Henry Pickering, or possibly attributed to him, this oil on canvas print measures 121.9x99.1 cm and is housed in Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Nottingham Castle. The subject of the painting is a young aristocratic woman believed to be Miss Dixie herself or potentially her sister or Sir Wolstan's second or third wife. The exact identity remains a mystery due to conflicting dates; however, it is speculated that she was around seven years old when this portrait was created. Dressed in exquisite finery, Miss Dixie exudes grace and sophistication. Her attire features a stunning floral patterned dress adorned with ribbons and lace details that accentuate her wealth and status within Georgian society. A cloud-like hat sits atop her head while delicate gloves complete her ensemble. With an air of confidence, she gazes directly at the viewer with piercing eyes, showcasing both intelligence and poise beyond her tender age. This three-quarter length portrait captures every intricate detail meticulously painted by Pickering. As we admire this remarkable piece from the 18th century, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of aristocracy through artistry. Miss Dixie's portrait serves as a testament to the wealth and influence held by individuals during this period in history - an era defined by lavishness, refinement, and societal hierarchy.
