Mezzotint Portrait of the Ladies Waldegrave by Valentine Green After Sir Joshua Reynolds

18th century
Description

Elizabeth Waldegrave, Countess Waldegrave Charlotte FitzRoy, Duchess of Grafton Anne Horatia Waldegrave

Reynolds was particularly skilled at choosing poses and actions which suggested a sitter's character and which also created a strong composition. Here, three sisters, the daughters of the 2nd Earl Waldegrave, are shown collaboratively working on a piece of needlework. The joint activity links the girls together. The eldest, Elizabeth Laura, who was aged twenty in 1780, sits in the centre winding silk thread. She is aided in this pursuit by Charlotte Maria, aged nineteen, on her right, while Anna Horatia, at eighteen the youngest of them, is working on a length of silk lace stretched across a tambour frame.

Date: 1781

 

Sheet Dimensions: 64cm x 39cm.

Framed Dimensions: 72cm x 47cm.

 

Price: £920

 

All prices include UK mainland delivery. For other territories please ask.

FAQs

A mezzotint is an intaglio printmaking technique developed in the seventeenth century that enables the creation of subtle tonal gradations and deep shadows without relying on cross-hatched line work.

Eighteenth-century mezzotints were produced using a copper plate worked with a metal rocker, inked with oil-based pigment, and pressed onto handmade cotton or linen rag paper.

Original period mezzotints feature visible indentation marks around the image border from the copper plate pressure, distinctive velvety shadow tones, and laid paper characteristics visible under direct light.

These historical monochromatic works pair effectively with traditional dark timber panelling or modern muted paint schemes, functioning well within structured gallery walls or as focal pieces above furniture.

Paper prints require framing behind conservation-grade UV-protective glass with acid-free mounting materials, positioned away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels.
