This 1786 engraving by J. Cook, titled "Mrs. Fitzherbert", portrays the subject in a three-quarter view, standing in an outdoor setting. She is dressed in the fashionable attire of the late 18th century, with a feathered hat and a long, flowing gown. The image is framed by an oval, typical of portraiture during this period, and the subject's posture and gaze suggest a sense of grace and elegance. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the style and fashion of the Georgian era.
