    Make An Enquiry

    This exceedingly charming mid-18th-century English oil painting depicts a girl wearing a red gown with a train over a white petticoat. She’s holding a posy or nosegay.

    Evidently once commissioned for an English country house, the identity of this young lady remains a mystery. Her gown appears to be inspired by the popular ‘robe à la française’ but with modifications due to her age. These remained fashionable until around 1770 when replaced by the ‘robe à l'anglaise’. It's accessorized with decorative sleeve ruffles and a pleated train, while her hair is adorned with an intriguing fascinator created from colourful flora and feathers.

    Held in a later frame.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 32” x 39½” / 81cm x 100cm
    Year of creation: c. 1740
