Portret van Henrietta Ponsonby 1781 - 1815

This print, created by Francesco Bartolozzi between 1781 and 1815, depicts Henrietta Frances, Viscountess Duncannon. Bartolozzi was known for his delicate stipple engraving technique, which is evident in the fine lines and subtle shading of this portrait. The image captures Henrietta in a contemplative moment, seated and holding a book, demonstrating the importance of education and literature for women of her time. This portrait of Henrietta Frances, Viscountess Duncannon, serves as a valuable document of fashion and aristocratic life in late 18th-century England.
