A finely mounted and glazed print depicting Elizabeth Mary Grosvenor (née Leveson-Gower) - A finely mounted and glazed print depicting Elizabeth Mary Grosvenor (née Leveson-Gower), later Marchioness of Westminster, born to the 1st Duke of Sutherland and married to Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster. The original portrait was painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence circa 1810–1815, during his tenure as England's leading society portraitist and President of the Royal Academy. The sitter is shown in a white empire-waist gown with puffed sleeves and sheer detailing, her hair styled in an elaborate Regency updo with ringlets framing her face. Her pose and expression reflect the grace and refinement typical of Lawrence's female portraits, which often emphasized elegance, youth, and aristocratic poise. This reproduction print is housed in a cream mat with a slim dark border, within a glazed frame measuring approximately 46 x 46cm. (Loc 431)
