Original Description
The charming double portrait A Young Lady In A White Regency Dress With A Red Shawl; A Seated Lady In A White Regency Dress With A Blue, Red And White Shawl by Ellen Wallace Sharples (1769–1849) captures the refined elegance of Regency-era portraiture. Painted circa 1805–1815, Sharples—an accomplished British-American artist known for her delicate pastel and crayon portraiture—showcases her signature attention to fabric textures and quiet gracefulness. The composition pairs two demure figures in neoclassical white muslin gowns, their contrasting shawls (vivid red versus a patterned blue, red, and white) adding subtle drama against muted backgrounds. Sharples' work occupies a distinctive niche in art history as one of few professional female portraitists of her time, bridging Georgian formal conventions with the emerging Romantic sensibility. The sisters’ poised yet intimate demeanor reflects the era’s ideals of femininity and familial bonds, rendered with a softness characteristic of her crayon technique.
For interior styling, this diptych’s harmonious blend of Regency refinement and restrained color palette makes it ideal for traditional or transitional spaces. Hang the pair symmetrically in a powder-blue or dove-gray sitting room to echo the shawls’ hues, allowing 4–6 inches between frames for visual balance. Their modest size (typical of Sharples’ works at ~12x10 inches each) suits above a writing desk or flanking a fireplace mantle—avoid overpowering them with bulky furniture. Complement the artwork with gilded Louis XVI-style frames to enhance its period charm, and pair with slender candlesticks or a neoclassical urn to延续the theme. In a home office, the portraits’ serene energy fosters sophistication; layer with linen drapes and a Persian rug tying into the red and blue accents for a cohesive, historically inspired vignette.
