Catherine (Brouncker) Adye, later Catherine Willett
Artist: George Romney (British, 1734-1802)
Sitter: Catherine (Brounkner) Adye, later Catherine Willett (British, 1762-1798)
Date: 1784-1785
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA, United States
Description
In this portrait, Romney makes the most of his twenty-two-year-old sitter’s enticing charms. Cocking her head at a fetching angle, she fixes the viewer with a direct gaze, which the artist has made all the more alluring by veiling her eyes in shadow.
