Anne or Molly Cracroft 1760

"Anne or Molly Cracroft" is a portrait painting created by the English artist Joseph Wright of Derby in 1760. It depicts a young woman, possibly Anne or Molly Cracroft, dressed in a delicate white gown with lace trim. The painting is characterized by Wright's signature chiaroscuro technique, which utilizes dramatic contrasts of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume. The subject's gentle expression and the lush landscape background evoke a sense of grace and tranquility, typical of 18th-century portraiture. The painting is currently in a private collection.
