EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the portrait of Hannah, Countess of Rosebery, created by the talented artist Frederic Leighton in approximately 1880. The medium used is chalk on paper, which adds a softness and delicacy to the image. Measuring 21x14 cm, this artwork can be found at the prestigious Yale Center for British Art as part of their Paul Mellon Collection. Hannah de Rothschild, later known as Countess of Rosebery, was not only an aristocrat but also a renowned philanthropist. This half-length sketch beautifully captures her reserved yet elegant demeanor. With her plump features and prim appearance, she exudes an air of sophistication that befits her high social standing. As an heiress who inherited Mentmore - one of England's grandest country houses - Hannah played a significant role in society during her time. Her influence extended beyond mere wealth; she actively engaged in charitable endeavors and supported various causes close to her heart. Leighton's skillful hand brings out every detail in this drawing, highlighting both Hannah's physical attributes and inner strength. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not just a woman from the aristocracy but also someone who left an indelible mark on society through her philanthropy. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Hannah de Rothschild's legacy – a woman whose grace and generosity continue to inspire generations even today.
