This portrait, painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence, depicts Elizabeth Farren, a renowned actress who later became Countess of Derby. The painting showcases Lawrence's mastery of capturing the elegance and refinement of his subjects. Farren is portrayed in a flowing white gown adorned with a fur-trimmed cloak, standing against a backdrop of lush greenery and a distant landscape, emphasizing her status and grace. The painting is a fine example of Lawrence's work, which combined classical ideals of beauty with the naturalistic portrayal of individuals. The painting is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
