1781 1843 Baron Erskine Fanny Frilly Lacy Shawl Cadwallader
EDITORS COMMENTS
Fanny Cadwallader, later known as Lady Erskine, is depicted in this elegant and captivating portrait, painted around the year 1781. At the time, Fanny was the young and beautiful first wife of David, the 2nd Baron Erskine, a prominent Scottish nobleman and politician. The painting captures Fanny's youthful grace and charm, as she gazes off into the distance with a serene expression. Fanny's attire is that of the late 18th century, with a delicate frilly collar, a fashionable shawl draped over her shoulders, and an intricately patterned dress adorned with flowers. The shawl, a popular accessory among the aristocracy during this period, adds a touch of sophistication and elegance to her outfit. Lady Erskine's striking features and poised demeanor are a testament to her status as a lady of high society. Her beauty and charm were no doubt admired by many, and her marriage to the 2nd Baron Erskine was a significant social event. Fanny's life was marked by tragedy, however, as she lost her husband in 1814, and later remarried in 1827 to the 5th Earl of Lacy. She passed away in 1843, leaving behind a legacy as a beloved and respected member of Scottish nobility. This portrait offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of the Scottish aristocracy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is a reminder of the beauty and elegance of this bygone era, and a tribute to the enduring allure of historical portraiture.
