Original Description
Lady Scudamore emerges from the canvas with an ethereal elegance, her luminous satin gown and delicate lace collar embodying the refined sophistication of early 18th-century British aristocracy. Painted around 1730-1735 by Charles Jervas – successor to Sir Godfrey Kneller as Principal Portrait Painter to King George II – this exquisite oil portrait showcases the artist’s mastery of the Baroque-Rococo transitional style. The sitter’s intelligent gaze and subtly tilted posture reveal Jervas’s talent for capturing psychological depth, while the warm Venetian-inspired palette and soft brushwork demonstrate his continental training under Sir Godfrey Kneller. As one of the finest surviving examples of Jervas’s mature portraiture, this work occupies an important place in the evolution of British portraiture bridging the gap between the solemn grandeur of Kneller and the emerging informality of later Georgian artists.
For contemporary interiors, this portrait creates exquisite dialogue between historical grandeur and modern spaces. Hung in a formal sitting room or executive office, the 127 x 101.5cm dimensions command attention without overwhelming – ideal above a Georgian-style console table or between architectural bookshelves. The painting’s russet, cream and powder blue tones pair beautifully with Farrow & Ball’s muted “Setting Plaster” walls or deeper “Hague Blue” paneling. In minimalist spaces, frame it in an ornate Louis XIV gilt frame to heighten its drama; for traditional interiors, a simpler oak floater frame maintains equilibrium. The portrait’s vertical format works particularly well in rooms with high ceilings, where its aristocratic bearing can be properly appreciated, while the relatively restrained background makes it surprisingly adaptable to both period and contemporary décor schemes.
