EDITORS COMMENTS
William Dickinson's captivating mezzotint on ivory laid paper, titled "Lady Charles Spencer, 1776," offers a glimpse into the elegant world of the British aristocracy during the eighteenth century. The portrait features Lady Mary Spencer, later known as Lady Charles Spencer, who was the heiress of the Duke of Marlborough and a prominent figure in English society. Lady Spencer is depicted in a riding habit, dressed in the height of fashion for the time. Her riding dress, complete with a high-waisted skirt, fitted bodice, and a large, brimmed hat adorned with a bow, reflects the practical yet stylish clothing choices of the era. Her posture is confident and poised, with a hint of a smile playing on her lips as she looks away from the viewer, perhaps lost in thought or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. The background of the print showcases the natural beauty of the English countryside, with a woodland scene visible through the trees. Horses graze in the distance, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The use of black and white in the mezzotint technique adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing the viewer to connect with the past and appreciate the artistry of William Dickinson. This beautiful portrait, created by Dickinson in 1776, is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. A true masterpiece of eighteenth-century art, "Lady Charles Spencer, 1776" offers a glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy and the fashion and art of the time.
