Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792) Circle - Portrait of Lady Elisabeth Carter

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 92 × 72 cm. Elegant 18th-century female portrait attributed to the British master Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of the founders and first president of the Royal Academy. The work depicts Lady Elizabeth Carter, notable for its delicate expression, the softness of the modeling, and the subtle color palette, all characteristic of Reynolds’ style. The artist masterfully captured the distinction and introspective nature of his sitters, becoming the most celebrated portraitist of the Georgian English nobility. A painting of great quality and refinement, a representative example of 18th-century British portraiture. Provenance: private collection. Lot in international warehouse (within the EU).
