Connoisseurs in beauty have long disputed as to which is the lovelier of the two Ramus girls painted by Romney. The bow of Miss Ramus lips may be a thought too precise, but how vibrant she is in spite of her composure! how keen and quick the look fo her high-bred face! It would be hard to make a choice between Miss Ramus and Miss Benedetta." George Romney (1734-1802) was an English portrait painter.

This portrait depicts her as an elegant young woman at the height of her career, before she retired from the stage to marry her aristocratic protector. Lawrences bold brushwork captures the sheen of satin and the plushness of fur, but his painting displeased the sitter, who asked the twenty-one-year-old artist to alter the depiction of her unfashionably slender figure.

Morse American The full-length portrait of Susan Walker Morse (1819-1885), the eldest daughter of the artist, was painted during the crucial years of the invention of Morse's telegraph (ca. 1835-37). The painting shows the girl at about the age of seventeen, sitting with a sketchbook in her lap and pencil in hand with her eyes raised in contemplation. Although traditionally described as a Muse, the figure is more likely a personification of the art of drawing or design. Morse drew on the full extent of his European training, taking from the works of Rubens and Veronese in what was to be an ambitious farewell to his career as an artist. Stymied by a lack of financial success, he abandoned painting for science and inventing. This painting was first exhibited at the National Academy of Design in 1837, where it won enthusiastic praise. Susan married Edward Lind in 1839 and moved to his sugar plantation in Puerto Rico, returning often tMay Frey, Jan Zachariasz (1771 1829)Portrait of a young Cristina of France (Reggia di Caserta, 1779-Savona, 1849), future Queen of Sardinia, by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun (1755-1842), oil on canvas.Mrs. Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
