Mrs. Robinson as Perdita 1774 - 1784

This watercolor on paper depicts a seated woman, identified as Mrs. Robinson, in a romantic landscape setting. Created by Richard Cosway, a renowned British miniaturist, between 1774 and 1784, the artwork showcases Cosway's mastery of delicate detail and the use of soft colors to evoke a sense of intimacy and sentimentality. The woman's elegant attire, the lush foliage, and the distant bridge contribute to a sense of idealized beauty and tranquility, typical of the Romantic period.
