Lady Mary Berkeley 1695 - 1705

"Lady Mary Berkeley" is an oil painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller, a prominent English portraitist, dated 1695–1705. The painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts Lady Mary Berkeley, a prominent figure of the English aristocracy, in a refined pose with a subtle expression. Kneller's characteristic use of soft, warm colors and a naturalistic, yet idealized style, captures the grace and beauty of his sitter.
