EDITORS COMMENTS
This miniature portrait captures the elegance and grace of Mrs. Ellen Devis, a prominent figure in 18th-century British society. Painted by William Wood, this watercolor and bodycolour on ivory print measures 7.6x6.4 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Mrs. Ellen Devis, born in 1746 and passing away in 1820, was not only known for her beauty but also for being the beloved wife of renowned British painter Anthony Devis (1729-1816). This pendant-style artwork showcases her delicate features within an oval frame, typical of Georgian-era portraiture. Dressed in regency fashion, Mrs. Devis exudes sophistication with a turban adorning her head—a popular accessory during this period—adding a touch of exoticism to her ensemble. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his skillful use of watercolors to capture every nuance of her complexion and attire. This exquisite miniature serves as both a memento and testament to Mrs. Ellen Devis' timeless allure and status within high society during the late 18th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to an era defined by refinement, elegance, and artistic mastery.
