Элизабет Фаррен (род. ок. 1759 г., ск. 1829 г.), позже графиня Дерби

Sir Thomas Lawrence British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 628

Элизабет Фаррен была комической актрисой, впервые выступившей на лондонских подмостках в 1777 году. В 1797 г., после продолжительного ухаживания, она вышла замуж за Эдварда Смита Стенли, двенадцатого графа Дерби. Портрет, написанный для графа в 1790 г., был выставлен для всеобщего обозрения и одобрения в Королевской академии. Лорд Дерби находил, что мисс Фаррен получилась слишком худой на картине, тем не менее, Лоуренс решил не вносить никаких изменений в эту блистательную работу. Холст, вместе с портретом королевы Шарлотты в полный рост, принес раннюю славу честолюбивому и одаренному от природы двадцатиоднолетнему художнику.
