Emma, Lady Hamilton
British School - 18th century, 1790s (?)
Print showing Emma Hamilton gazing upwards. She wears an empire-line dress and a loosely bound turban. The soft tones of the engraving are intended to imitate a watercolour sketch with a slight colouring of blush to the face. Apart from the drawing around the face and bodice, there is an absence of detailing. Although the identity of the artist is unknown, Emma became an experienced model through her many sittings for artists including George Romney, who also painted a portrait of her wearing a similar white turban.Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson banging in a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G…enjoy that disturbing image…
