"Mary, Duchess of Richmond 1740-96 1764-67" is a distinguished portrait by the renowned 18th-century British painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. This work exemplifies Reynolds' mastery in capturing the elegance and poise of the British aristocracy during the Georgian era. Painted between 1764 and 1767, the portrait features Mary Bruce, the Duchess of Richmond, who was born in 1740 and passed away in 1796. She was the daughter of Charles Bruce, 4th Earl of Elgin, and Lady Caroline Campbell, and she married Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond, in 1757.

Reynolds, a founding member and the first president of the Royal Academy of Arts, was celebrated for his ability to infuse his portraits with a sense of grandeur and sophistication. In this particular painting, he employs his characteristic use of rich, warm colors and dramatic lighting to highlight the Duchess's refined features and sumptuous attire. The portrait is a testament to Reynolds' skill in rendering textures, from the delicate lace of her dress to the soft sheen of her pearls.

The composition of the painting is both balanced and dynamic, with the Duchess positioned slightly off-center, her gaze directed away from the viewer, which adds a sense of introspection and depth to her character. The background, though subdued, complements the figure, enhancing the overall sense of nobility and grace.

This portrait not only serves as a representation of Mary, Duchess of Richmond, but also as an exemplar of Reynolds' contribution to portraiture in the 18th century. His ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters made him one of the most sought-after portraitists of his time. The painting remains a significant piece within Reynolds' oeuvre and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical value.
