Portrait of Christine Boyer (1773-1800) (c.1800).
Oil on canvas. Musée Magnin.

Christine Boyer, first wife of Lucien Bonaparte, is represented in the park of the castle of Plessis-Chamant, near Senlis.

The almost unrealistic character of the work, which is set in a garden with a faint light, with faded plants, could be a reminder of the young woman’s tragic destiny, or could be a posthumous portrait.

Portrait of a Young Lady (c.1758-1760).
Oil on canvas.

In 1760, around the time this portrait was painted, Wright embarked on a tour of neighboring Midland towns, painting portraits of local middle class families and landed gentry.

Wright perfectly captures the poise and charm of his sitter, who stares out at us with a remarkable confidence that belies her youth.

She wears a blue satin gown with strung pearls woven around the bodice and sleeves, and entwined in her hair.

Portrait of Kate Perugini, Daughter of Charles Dickens (1880).
Oil on canvas.

Kate decided upon the pose she would adopt when she walked into Millais’ studio, turned her back, looked over her shoulder and told him that this was the way she wished to be depicted. Millais clearly agreed and the pose is both original and powerful.

Millais’ eroticism was subtle with the French-seamed gossamer black organdie of the sleeves and back revealing the golden skin beneath.
