– Half-length colour printed stipple portrait of Georgiana Quentin (d.1853), seated outdoors and turned toward the viewer. She wears a white Empire-style dress and is depicted against a landscape with Eton College visible in the background. The composition emphasizes her elegance and social status, while the soft colouring enhances the delicacy typical of early 19th-century stipple engravings. The portrait relates to her notoriety as a close associate, widely believed mistress, of the Prince Regent.
