Portrait of Mrs. Isaac Cuthbert. Sir Thomas Lawrence (English, 1769-1830). Oil on canvas. Louvre, Paris, France.The Romantic portraitist of the Regency, Lawrence was the finest portrait painter of his generation in Europe. His subjects included George IV, Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, the actress Sarah Siddons, Emperor Alexander I of Russia, and Pope Pius VII. His technical facility and rapid and enormous public success should not obscure the originality and self-consciousness of his imagination. He also formed a superb collection of Old Master drawings. -- source link
