Illustrated catalogue of the art and literary property collected by the late Henry GMarquand . responds to the rosy creamof the horizon, and to the golden brown flecked with orange in the foliage ot the richness of the landscape setting adds the charm of contrast to the simple grace ofthe gown, which is of soft creamy material, crossing low upon the bosom. The ladyfaces the left, her right elbow supported upon her knee, and her hand resting against hercheek. The face is oval, with a sensitively arched nose, delicately pencilled brows, andbrown eyes half veiled with drooping lids. Brown also, of a warm tone, is her hair,which is drawn up on the top of her head in rolls, with loops depending behind. Thepose of the figure is at once graceful and artless, while the entire composition has ahandsomeness of treatment that makes the portrait truly pictorial. Mrs. Stanhope, nee Eliza Falconer, one of the beauties of the day, was married to the Honorable FitzroyStanhope, younger son of the second Earl of Harrington, who died August zo, 1828.
