Mme Grace Dalrymple Elliott (1754 ?–1823)

1778
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628
Divorcée d’un médecin écossais, Mme Elliott était toujours au bras de Lord Cholmondeley, qui allait devenir le premier marquis de Cholmondeley. C’est peut-être lui qui commanda ce portrait. Le savant édifice de la chevelure gonflée et poudrée ajoute à la taille déjà très élancée de la dame. Mme Elliott porte une robe XVIIIe siècle au goût du jour, d’un jaune déjà très apprécié de Sir Anthony van Dyck plus d’un siècle plus tôt. La toile fut exposée à la Royal Academy en 1778.
