EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lady Hester Stanhope in Oriental Dress, captured by the talented artist David Wilkie during the early 19th century. Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope, a remarkable British socialite, adventurer, and traveller of her time, is depicted here in a sketch made in 1841. The portrait exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as she dons traditional oriental attire. Wilkie's pencil work beautifully captures the essence of this extraordinary woman who defied societal norms to embark on daring adventures across various countries. Her headdress and costume reflect her fascination with different cultures and her adventurous spirit. The vibrant colors used in this watercolor add depth to the image, transporting viewers back to a significant era in history - the 19th century. Lady Hester Stanhope's presence is further enhanced by the delicate fan she holds gracefully. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an influential figure but also offers insight into English women's role during that period. It is part of Edith Sitwell's book "English Women" published by Collins London in 1942. As we delve into this portrait from Sir David Wilkie's lens, we are reminded of Lady Hester Stanhope's indomitable spirit and her contribution to social history. This artwork stands as a testament to her legacy as one of Britain's most fascinating adventurers and travellers.
