Before us is the daughter of Sir William Montgomery. At 21, she married George Taushenda, 1st Marquis Taushend. Here the young woman is 28 years old. The artist painted it against the background of a marble pedestal in the park.
Light, flowing dress “on the floor” further emphasizes her harmony. A beautiful face is finished by a high powder hairdo. Behind her, a cloak, trimmed with ermine, is thrown, as a symbol of the ducal authority.
Reynolds perfectly passed the soft flowing fabric of the dress, the shaded folds, the slightly bent knee, the glitter of the red satin cloak. Portrait of the front, but the artist with great sympathy conveys the inner seriousness, dignity and softness of the character of the young viscountess.
