About the Item
This refined portrait is believed to depict Elizabeth Ann Sheridan (née Linley; 1754–1792), the celebrated English soprano and wife of playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Painted in the late 18th century, the sitter is portrayed with characteristic grace and poise, her features rendered with soft, luminous brushwork. She wears elegant period attire, possibly a silk gown with lace accents, and her gaze carries a quiet intelligence that aligns with historical accounts of Linley's beauty and talent.
The painting's style suggests the influence of contemporary portraitists such as Thomas Gainsborough or Joshua Reynolds, both of whom painted Linley during her lifetime. Though unsigned, the work reflects the genteel sensibility and romantic idealism typical of British portraiture in the Georgian era.
It is framed in a gold leaf 19th century frame.
Size of canvas 38 x 31.5 cm
