EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait, titled "Mary Countess Howe," is a masterpiece created by the renowned English painter Thomas Gainsborough in around 1760. The painting is a testament to Gainsborough's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, as well as his ability to showcase the elegance and sophistication of the Georgian era. Mary Countess Howe, whose full name is Mary Wortley Montagu, Countess of Howe, was a prominent figure in British society during the 18th century. She was known for her intelligence, wit, and beauty, making her an ideal subject for Gainsborough's brush. In this portrait, Mary is depicted in a three-quarter length pose, wearing a fashionable robe of deep blue velvet, trimmed with ermine, and a matching hat adorned with ostrich feathers. Her expression is serene and confident, and her piercing gaze engages the viewer, inviting them into her world. The painting measures 96 inches by 60 inches (244 x 152.4cm) and was created on canvas. It is part of the Iveagh Bequest, which is housed at Kenwood House in London. The Iveagh Bequest is a remarkable collection of art and historical treasures, bequeathed to the nation by the 2nd Earl of Iveagh in 1927. This portrait is a prime example of Gainsborough's unique style, which was characterized by his use of soft, natural colors and his ability to capture the subtle play of light and shadow. Gainsborough's mastery of technique and his ability to convey the essence of his subjects made him one of the most influential painters of the Georgian era. Today, "Mary Countess Howe" continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and historical significance. It is a reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
