1774
About the Item
DESCRIPTION: Perhaps the best Romney in private hands. If Vogue Magazine existed in the late 18th century, this image of Lady Caroline Price would be on one of its covers. The exudes a dignified, refined, upscale regal elegance . The grand hat reminds us of the Sir Joshua Reynolds grand portraits . Romney's renown as a portraitist of socially-elite individuals is well documented by his sitter books, which survive for the years 1776 to 1795. It is possible that this painting of Lady Caroline Price dates to this period, or shortly before it, as the sitter married Sir Uvedale Price in 1774. The youngest daughter of George Carpenter, First Earl of Tyrconnell, Lady Caroline Carpenter was born in 1755. Her husband was a prominent writer and landscape designer who was one of the chief aestheticians of the Picturesque movement in landscape design. Lord and Lady Price hosted distinguished parties at their Foxley home, entertaining such luminaries as Sheridan, Charles James Fox, Samuel Rogers, and Wordsworth. Along with Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney was one of the most prominent portraitists of the eighteenth century. His paintings such as the present work are characterized by fashionable costume, beautiful color, and graceful brushwork. Sitting with a sense of poise befitting her stature, Lady Price modestly averts her gaze to her right. Her white ruffled bodice is quickly and expertly described with masterful brushstrokes. Light pours into the space, playing off of the rich texture of the lady's plumed, blue ribbon hat.
