Original Description
Angelica Kauffmann’s Portrait of Louise Henrietta Campbell, Later Lady Scarlett, as The Muse of Literature (c. 1782) is a masterful example of Neoclassical portraiture, blending elegance with intellectual depth. Depicting the sitter as Calliope, the muse of epic poetry, Kauffmann infuses the composition with refined grace—soft drapery, delicate posture, and a thoughtful gaze that exudes quiet inspiration. The muted palette of creams and blues, paired with subtle gilt accents, reflects the artist’s Rococo influences while adhering to the era’s growing preference for classical restraint. As one of the few prominent female artists of her time, Kauffmann’s work holds a pivotal place in art history, merging aristocratic portraiture with allegorical storytelling. This painting, like many of her commissions, celebrated educated women—a progressive theme in 18th-century Europe.
For a harmonious display, consider hanging this artwork in a study, private library, or office to emphasize its literary theme. A spacious, light-filled wall with minimal competing decor will let the painting’s delicate details shine. Frame it in a slender gilt or white-gold moulding to echo its Neoclassical origins, and pair it with muted tones like sage green or dove gray for the backdrop. At approximately 127 x 101 cm (typical of Kauffmann’s half-length portraits), it suits above a console table or between shelves—avoid overcrowding. For lighting, opt for warm, directional spotlights to enhance the soft glow of the sitter’s complexion and the fabric’s texture. In a modern setting, balance its formality with clean-lined furniture, letting the portrait serve as a focal point of cultured sophistication.
