"Mrs. John Ashton" is an oil painting by Joseph Wright of Derby, one of the most celebrated portrait artists of the 18th century. Created in 1769, it depicts the wife of John Ashton, a wealthy merchant and patron of the arts. Mrs. Ashton is seated in a plush armchair, her gaze directed towards the viewer, radiating a sense of elegance and composure. The rich textures of her dress, the plush velvet tablecloth, and the book in her lap contribute to a sense of wealth and refinement. The painting is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, a testament to its enduring artistry.
