Elizabeth Farren (nasceu aproximadamente em 1759, morreu em 1829), mais tarde condessa de Derby

1790
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628
Elizabeth Farren foi uma comediante que fez sua primeira atuação nos palcos de Londres, em 1777. Em 1797 se casou com Edward Smith Stanley, décimo segundo conde de Derby, depois de um longo noivado. Em 1790, o conde encomendou este retrato a Lawrence, que foi exibido com grande sucesso na Royal Academy. Apesar de lorde Derby considerar que a senhorita Farren parecia muito delgada, Lawrence optou por não fazer quaisquer alterações à pintura. Junto com um retrato de tamanho natural da Rainha Carlota, a tela trouxe fama precoce ao jovem artista aspirante, que tinha apenas 21 anos na época.
