Mrs Mark Currie

Mrs Mark Currie, a painting by George Romney, 1789. 



The artwork depicts a young woman, Mrs. Mark Currie, seated on a balustrade in a garden setting. She is wearing a pale yellow, almost white, gown with a ruffled neckline and pink ribbons at the shoulders and waist. Her hair is styled in soft curls around her face. Her expression is serene and slightly pensive. The background is dark, with a suggestion of trees and a glimpse of a landscape in the distance. The painting is characterized by Romney's signature soft brushstrokes and delicate rendering of fabrics and light. The overall mood is one of quiet elegance and gentle beauty. The painting's dimensions are 1.511 meters wide and 1.206 meters high. It is housed in the National Gallery.
