Sarah Rodbard George Romney, 1784 The Lady Lever Art Gallery Liverpool |
Here, we see Romney’s portrait of a well-heeled young lady named Sarah Rodbard. Though not titled, she traveled among important circles. Painted at the age of nineteen, she radiates youthful charm and a lovely fashion sense. Even her adorable dog seems at ease as he poses next to his mistress. She looks at us as if to say, “I’m just biding my time in this garden with my dog. I hope you don’t mind.” She then entreats us to look at her shoes. Saucy!
