Elizabeth Farren (born about 1759, died 1829), Later Countess of Derby. Artist: Sir Thomas Lawrence (British, Bristol 1769-1830 London). Dimensions: 94 x 57 1/2 in. (238.8 x 146.1 cm). Date: 1790.
The Irish actress Elizabeth Farren made her London debut in 1777 as Kate Hardcastle in Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. She was at the height of her career when this canvas was exhibited in 1790. Seven years later, she married the twelfth earl of Derby. This elegant portrait helped to secure for Lawrence the role of successor to the elderly Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
