EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century portrait, thought to be of Lady Margaret Chudleigh, is a stunning example of English School painting from the period between 1750 and 1760. The young woman, dressed in the latest fashion of the time, wears a richly colored, oval-shaped dress with a low-cut neckline, revealing a hint of cleavage. The dress is adorned with intricate copper enamel details, including a bassetaille skirt and a pendant necklace, adding an air of elegance and opulence. Lady Margaret Chudleigh, who was the wife of Sir John Chudleigh, 3rd Baronet, is depicted with a direct gaze, her eyes meeting the viewer's gaze with a sense of confidence and poise. The portrait is executed in the email metal technique, a popular method of the time that involved applying layers of enamel to a copper base. The technique adds a unique texture and depth to the painting, making the image come alive. This portrait is now part of the collection at Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the finest museums for 18th century art. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Britain during the eighteenth century and the enduring appeal of portraiture as a form of artistic expression. The young woman's timeless beauty and the intricate details of her attire continue to captivate modern viewers, making this portrait a true masterpiece of the English School.
