Engraving, 175 x 110mm. 7 x 4¼". A fine impression with margins.
Maria Anne Fitzherbert (née Smythe) (1756 - 1837), famous beauty, and mistress of George IV. A woman of tact and discretion, Mrs Fitzherbert was one of the great beauties of her day. Although a Catholic and a widow she was persuaded to marry the Prince of Wales in a secret ceremony in 1785. The marriage was illegal. The Prince did not have the King's approval and the heir could not marry a Catholic without forfeiting the right to the throne. Mrs Fitzherbert was condemned to a life of deception as the Prince's 'mistress'. She patiently maintained this position for almost a decade after George's official marriage to Caroline of Brunswick in 1795. For the 'New Lady's Magazine' 1786.

Lady Charlotte Fitzwilliam (1746-1833), daughter of the third Earl Fitzwilliam and a niece of the marquess of Rockingham. In 1764 she married Thomas Dundas of Kerse, first Baron Dundas of Aske (1741-1820), politician, and they lived principally at the family's Yorkshire estate of Upleatham. After the portrait of Charlotte as a child, by Sir Joshua Reynolds. In 1754 the portrait became the first of Reynolds' painting to be reproduced in the medium of mezzotint, by the Irish mezzotinter James MacArdell (this print is a reduced later copy of MacArdell's print). Reynolds went on to authorise many other mezzotints of his portraits which helped to increase his reputation and develop familiarity with his work.
