Carey Fraser, Countess of Peterborough (d.1709)

"Carey Fraser, Countess of Peterborough (d.1709)" is a painting created by Godfrey Kneller between 1690 and 1691. 



The artwork depicts Carey Fraser, Countess of Peterborough, in a three-quarter-length pose. She is dressed in a dark-colored gown with white sleeves and a flowing, vibrant orange-red robe or shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hands are gently clasped in front of her. Her expression is somewhat serious and reserved. 



The background is dark and indistinct, with a suggestion of drapery or a wall behind her, and a partially visible, darker figure or statue to the right. The painting's overall style is characteristic of portraiture from the late 17th century, with a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness and conveying a sense of her social status through her attire and pose. The painting measures 1.437 meters in width and 2.33 meters in height and is housed at Hampton Court Castle.
