EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil painting by John Wollaston, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th century America. The portrait showcases Lucy Parry, wife of Admiral Parry, a prominent figure in American history. Dressed in a stunning taffeta gown with delicate lace sleeves and intricate details, Lucy exudes sophistication and refinement. Wollaston's meticulous brushstrokes bring out every nuance of her attire - from the rich colors to the luxurious silk fabric that drapes gracefully around her waistline. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the fine lacework adorning her sleeves, adding an extra layer of elegance to this already exquisite piece.
