Description: Item/Description: Pencil signed, Sydney Ernest Wilson, color mezzotint of the painting titled 'Mrs Musters Sophia Catherine Heywood by George Romney (1734-1802) English portrait painter. HP blindstamp to bottom left / signed to bottom right by the engraver.
"The very pretty Sophia Catherine Musters is the wife of John Musters, mother of three children. In this portrait she doesn�t look unhappy, but it was painted at what must have been one of her most agonizing times: the year in which she baptized and then buried her third and youngest child. Romney paints her in fashionable clothes, with a hat that would later date the painting. He cuts the top of the hat out of the portrait. That was likely an artistic decision made in homage to one of his favorite paintings by Peter Paul Rubens."
