EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegant Adelaide Maria Guinness, reclining on a luxurious sofa in the enchanting conservatory of Farmleigh, the grand Victorian mansion that served as the Dublin residence of the esteemed Guinness family. Painted by George Elgar Hicks in 1885, this life-sized oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Adelaide's poise and grace as she basks amidst a lush oasis of tropical plants. Adelaide Maria Guinness (1844-1916), who later became Viscountess Iveagh after marrying Sir Edward Cecil Guinness, is depicted here with utmost sophistication. Dressed impeccably in fashionable attire befitting her aristocratic status, she exudes an air of refined leisure. A palm fan delicately held in her hand adds to her allure while providing respite from the warm ambiance within. The opulent surroundings are further accentuated by a majestic tiger skin rug beneath Adelaide's feet, symbolizing both power and exoticism. This portrayal not only celebrates Adelaide herself but also serves as a testament to the influential dynasty that was built upon brewing success. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to an era where socialites like Adelaide reigned supreme over high society gatherings. The combination of Victorian elegance and natural beauty creates a harmonious blend that epitomizes both refinement and indulgence. This print allows us to appreciate not only Hicks' artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary world filled with privilege and splendor
