About the artwork
This page presents "Portrait of Lady" (1835), created by Frederick Randolph Spencer. About the period around 1835: The invention of lithography around 1796 and its spread in these decades made printed images cheaper and more varied. The first half of the nineteenth century moved from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, which placed emotion, nature, and the sublime at the centre of painting. Figurative in brief: Over the centuries, painters have used the figure to express social standing, narrative, and emotion. Portraits, group scenes, studies of the nude, and pictures of daily life all belong to figurative art. It is listed in the Figurative collection. The image is in portrait orientation.
