Not on viewLabel TextAmerican-born artist James Earl painted seven members of the Beauclerk family in England, and Lady Mary was the youngest sitter. Prim and proper, her crisp, clean dress was made of muslin, a fabric recently introduced from India, and her broad brimmed hat protected her delicate skin from the sun. The shiny red cherries balance the flush in her cheeks and sparkle in her eyes.
El artista estadounidense James Earl pintó a siete de los miembros de la familia Beauclerk en Inglaterra; Lady Mary era la menor de todos ellos. Muy propia y orgullosa, su vestido limpio y nítido de muselina, una tela recién llegada de la India, y su sombrero de ala ancha, protegían su delicada piel del sol. Las lustrosas cerezas complementan sus mejillas rosadas y ojos brillantes.
