EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegant and refined beauty of Lady Harriet Acland (1750-1815), the beloved wife of Colonel John Dyke Acland. Born as Christian Henrietta Acland, Harriet was the daughter of the prominent English family, the Aclands of Coleshill, Wiltshire. Her marriage to Colonel Acland in 1774 marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would take them to America. Colonel Acland, a distinguished soldier, served in the American Revolutionary War, and his family accompanied him during his military assignments. This portrait, likely painted during their time in America, showcases Harriet's timeless grace and sophistication. Her delicate features, expressive eyes, and exquisite attire evoke an air of refinement and poise. The Aclands returned to England in 1783, following the end of the war. Harriet continued to be an influential figure in English society, and her marriage to Colonel Acland remained a strong and loving partnership until his death in 1815. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of their time in America and the enduring bond between them. Lady Harriet Acland's legacy extends beyond her personal life, as she is also known for her contributions to literature. She penned several poems and published a collection titled "Poems on Various Occasions" in 1785. This portrait, with its rich history and intriguing backstory, continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
