Portret van Frances Brudenell 1735 - 1800

This mezzotint print, “Portret van Frances Brudenell,” was created by William Wilson in the late 18th century. The print depicts Frances Brudenell, Countess of Newburgh, in a formal portrait, showcasing the elegant fashion of the era. The use of a mezzotint technique, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries, lends a soft, tonal quality to the image, highlighting the subject's features and the delicate fabrics of her clothing. Wilson, a prolific British artist, specialized in mezzotint portraiture, capturing the likeness of prominent figures of his time.
