Portret van Louisa Lennox 1759 - 1765

This mezzotint print, "Portret van Louisa Lennox," was created by James McArdell in 1759-1765. The artwork depicts Louisa Lennox, a prominent figure in 18th-century British society, in a pose of refined elegance. She is shown wearing a lace-trimmed gown and a pearl necklace, her gaze directed towards the viewer. McArdell's mastery of the mezzotint technique results in a soft and subtle rendering of light and shadow, adding depth and realism to the composition. This print, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the fashion and portraiture trends of the 18th century.
