EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic beauty of Mary Anne Clarke, nee Thompson, a prominent figure in British history during the early 19th century. The anonymous artist skillfully captures her essence in this portrait believed to have been created around 1810. Mary Anne Clarke was known for her scandalous affair with Frederick Augustus, Duke of York and Albany, who happened to be the second son of King George III. This liaison caused quite a stir within high society at the time and became a subject of great interest among gossip circles. The artist's use of romanticism in this graphic arts piece adds an air of mystery and allure to Mary Anne's persona. The colour lithograph technique employed here further enhances the visual impact, bringing out subtle nuances in her features and attire. Currently held in a private collection, this fine art image offers us a rare glimpse into the life and times of Mary Anne Clarke. It serves as a reminder that even amidst scandal and controversy, individuals can leave their mark on history through their unique stories.
