Mrs Siddons

Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) was one of the most famous actresses of her time, specialising in tragic roles. She is portrayed here as a fashionable lady, wearing an elaborately trimmed black beaver hat and caressing her fox-fur muff. Gainsborough is reported to have had difficulties painting the woman's nose and to have exclaimed, 'Confound the nose, there's no end to it.'
