This print reproduces one of the first portraits that Reynolds painted on his return from his studies in Italy. Lady Ann Dawson (1733-1769) is shown in the guise of Diana the virgin goddess of hunting, with a spear, crescent moon on her forehead, and a greyhound. The painting was made at the time of her engagement when such fanciful conceits were thought flattering. |
