Susannah Archer, Countess of Oxford, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, 1790



The Countess of Oxford (1728-1804) as portrayed by Lawrence in her sixty-third year.  1790 was also the year of her husband's death; though childless, the couple had had a marriage of thirty-nine years.

    Its a surprisingly honest portrait for its time. We are being allowed to see her years fully, which I admire and love about this.
