Portret van Selina Hastings, hertogin van Huntingdon 1731 - 1775

This is a portrait of Selina Hastings, Duchess of Huntingdon, painted by Richard Houston in the mid-18th century. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and shows the Duchess in a relaxed, yet elegant pose. The portrait is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture and highlights the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitter. The Duchess’s graceful posture and the detailed depiction of her dress and jewelry, as well as the soft lighting, contribute to the artwork's elegant and refined aesthetic.
