EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures Lady Burlington, also known as Mary Leke Perceval, in the picturesque grounds of Chiswick House in London. Painted by the renowned Georgian artist Arthur Devis in 1755, the portrait showcases the elegance and sophistication of the period's fashion and social scene. Lady Burlington is depicted wearing an intricately designed robe of vibrant silk, adorned with gold embroidery and lace. The robe is worn over a matching petticoat and under a voluminous, fur-lined mantua, which is held in place by a delicate ribbon sash. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with pearls and feathers, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the time. The painting also offers a glimpse into the beautiful gardens of Chiswick House, with its meticulously manicured lawns, topiary, and ornate fountains. The idyllic setting further enhances the serene and refined atmosphere of the portrait. Arthur Devis was a prominent figure in the Georgian art scene, known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and their surroundings. This portrait of Lady Burlington in the grounds of Chiswick House is a testament to his skill and the beauty of the Georgian era.
