DescriptionA young woman is seated in an elaborately carved chair. She wears a dress with a laced bodice. Her jewelry includes bracelets on both wrists, a ring on her right middle finger, a necklace of beads or pearls, and pendant earrings. She appears to be asleep. An open book has fallen from her hands and rests on the stand of a large globe at the left. Two other books, one closed and one face down, lie on the floor nearby. A table covered with a tablecloth, with another book and a large glass vase on it, is at the far left. A large, round mirror in an elaborate frame is on the wall above. A guitar rests on the wall at the right, beneath an open window with leaded glass panes. A flowering vine, possibly a rosebush, is visible through the window.
Object number1980.5.2
NotesSource Note: The composition is derived from a painting by Gilbert Stuart Newton. A lithograph of the painting was printed by Charles Joseph Hullmandel and published by J. Dickinson in September 1826. The immediate source is almost certainly an engraving which appeared in The Gems of Stuart Newton, R.A., with a Brief Memoir and Descriptive Notices by Henry Murray. London: H. Graves and Warmsley, Paris: Goupil and Vibert, New York: Messers. Appleton & Co., 1842. At that time the painting was in the collection of the Duke of Sunderland. (Finlay 8/4/2006)
