This mezzotint, created by Valentine Green after 1749, depicts Polly Harrison holding a dove. Green, known for his mastery of mezzotint, captures the delicate features of Polly Harrison and the soft, feathery detail of the dove. The use of light and shadow in this work creates a sense of depth and realism. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, providing art enthusiasts with a glimpse into 18th-century portraiture and the skill of Valentine Green.
