EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite stipple engraving, titled "Mrs Fitzherbert" captures the elegance and allure of Maria Anne Smythe, who secretly married the Prince of Wales, later known as George IV. Created by Jean Conde in 1792, this print showcases the remarkable talent of Richard Cosway, whose masterful work is faithfully reproduced here. Measuring 29.2x21.6 cm, this portrait depicts Mrs Fitzherbert with her loyal spaniel companion by her side. The artist skillfully portrays her grace and poise through delicate lines and intricate details. Her pendant and medallion add a touch of regal sophistication to her ensemble. As one gazes upon this enchanting image, it becomes clear that Mrs Fitzherbert was not only a mistress but also a woman of great beauty and strength. The walking stick she holds serves as both an accessory and symbolizes her independence. This rare glimpse into history reminds us of the hidden stories behind powerful figures like George IV - tales often overshadowed by their public personas. With its timeless charm and historical significance, this engraving offers a window into the secret life of Mrs Fitzherbert – a woman who defied convention to follow her heart's desires. Now part of a private collection, this extraordinary piece allows us to appreciate Cosway's artistry while unraveling the intriguing narrative surrounding Mrs Fitzherbert's clandestine marriage to one of England's most prominent figures.
