(After)
After the portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence, same direction (1822; exh. R.A., 1822, no. 67; Laing Art Gallery & Museum, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, TWCMS: C3946). Mary Hyacinthe Littleton (1789-1849) was the daughter of Richard, Marquess of Wellesley who married Edward John Littleton in 1812. Littleton was created Baron Hatherton in 1835. Seated, three-quarter-length facing left, holding a large sketchbook upright with her right hand, her left hand by her side. Her head turned upwards towards the right. Wearing a pale muslin shift with jewels at the breast and jewelled armlets, a patterned shawl loose around her lower arms.
History note: One of 'eight proof engravings' given in 1827/8. (See, Donor Index). An annotation in Nagler gives the reference/accession number '34.A.12' , a Lord Fitzwilliam album with the title, 'Portraits and mixed subjects and landscapes' which contained '19 loose prints'. The prints which were loose inside this album were not original to it and had no connection to Lord Fitzwilliam or his print collection. See also P.14971-R, another Dominic Colnaghi acquired print which was once contained inside this album.
