Lady Maria Conyngham (died 1843) 1824 - 1825

Thomas Lawrence, a prominent English portrait painter, created this oil painting of Lady Maria Conyngham in 1824-1825. The artwork depicts Lady Maria in a relaxed pose, seated in an outdoor setting, with a dog at her side. The painting is a fine example of Lawrence’s skill in portraying his subjects with elegance and refinement, utilizing soft brushstrokes and a romantic atmosphere. The painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, highlights the prominent role of portraiture in 19th-century British art.
