About ‘Portrait of Anne Hussey (Delaval), Lady Stanhope, Tilly Kettle’
Portrait of Anne Hussey (Delaval), Lady Stanhope, Tilly Kettle (1768)
In this full-length portrait, Lady Stanhope's attire indicates how fashionable Indian textiles and styles of clothing were in England during the second half of the eighteenth century, as a result of the success of the East India Company. Lady Stanhope wears a white gown embroidered with gold flowers, tied with a fitted gold sash around the waist. Her pink, taffeta silk coat and Indian-style gold slippers also show the profound influence the culture had on British art of the period. Kettle would later travel to India, further immersing himself in the country's influences.
Tilly Kettle was a portrait painter and the first prominent English portrait painter to operate in India.
