EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the elegance and refinement of Jane Elizabeth Scott, Countess of Oxford, born in 1773 and married to Edward Harley, the 6th Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer in the peerage of Great Britain in 1796. The Countess, who was also known as Lady Jane Harley, was the daughter of the 1st Earl of Dalkeith and granddaughter of the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch. Her marriage to the Earl brought her into the prominent Harley family, which held vast estates in England and Wales. The portrait, dated around 1796, depicts the Countess in the height of Regency fashion, with an elaborate hairstyle adorned with pearls and feathers, and a flowing gown of rich fabric. Her expression is serene and confident, reflecting her status and position in society. The intricate detailing of her gown and the delicate lace collar add to the opulence of the image. The Countess of Oxford was known for her patronage of the arts and her involvement in charitable works. She supported various causes, including the establishment of a school for girls in Hereford and the relief efforts during the Napoleonic Wars. Her husband, the Earl, was a prominent figure in politics and served as a Member of Parliament for several terms. This portrait is a testament to the grace and sophistication of the Regency era and offers a glimpse into the life of a noblewoman of the time. The Countess of Oxford's legacy continues to be celebrated in the annals of British history, and her image remains a symbol of elegance and refinement.
