EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the elegance and grace of Elizabeth Mary (nee Leveson-Gower), Marchioness of Westminster, in the prime of her life. Dated between 1797 and 1891, the image showcases Elizabeth's refined beauty and sophisticated style, which were the hallmarks of the English aristocracy during the Regency era. Born into the prominent Leveson-Gower family, Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of the 1st Marquess of Stafford and Lady Elizabeth Sackville. She married Richard, the second Marquess of Westminster, in 1815, and the union produced nine children. The couple's marriage was marked by great happiness and mutual affection, as evidenced by the tender expression in Elizabeth's eyes in this portrait. Elizabeth's fashionable attire, with its high waistline, voluminous skirt, and intricate lace detailing, reflects the opulence and extravagance of the Regency period. Her delicate neckline is adorned with a string of pearls, adding an air of sophistication and elegance to her appearance. The portrait also serves as a testament to the artistic skill of the artist, who expertly captured the subtle nuances of Elizabeth's features and the intricacies of her clothing. The use of soft lighting and muted colors further enhances the image's timeless beauty and understated elegance. Elizabeth's life was not without tragedy, however. Her husband, Richard, passed away in 1845, leaving her a widow at the relatively young age of 53. She continued to serve as the Marchioness of Westminster until her own death in 1891, at the age of 93. This portrait of Elizabeth Mary, Marchioness of Westminster, offers a glimpse into the world of the English aristocracy during the Regency era, a time of opulence, elegance, and refinement. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and grace of a bygone era, and the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a person and an era.
