Portrait of a Lady by Alexander Pope, 1805

Step into 1805 with this breezy portrait of a Regency-era lady taking a pause from her stroll. Dressed in the fashionable high-waisted empire gown and wrapped in a shawl, she leans against a stone wall, clutching her bonnet and gloves as if waiting for someone. The artist used sketchy graphite lines and a light blue watercolor wash for the sky, creating a dreamy, atmospheric look that makes her feel like she's about to step right out of the paper.
