Description
A beautifully executed 19th-century steel stipple engraving portrait, likely depicting Caroline Margaret Clayton, Viscountess Drumlanrig. The refined and sensitive portrayal highlights both the elegance and character of the sitter, capturing subtle details of expression and the delicate curls of her hair.
This portrait was originally drawn by John Hayter(1800–1895), a respected English portrait artist known for his refined and graceful portraits of notable figures in Victorian society, including members of the British aristocracy and royalty. The engraving was skillfully executed by T. W. Knight, whose meticulous technique contributes to the delicate texture and subtle gradation of the print.
The print measures approximately 10 x 7.75 inches and was printed on quality paper typical of mid-19th-century engravings. Minor foxing and overall yellowing due to age are present, adding to the antique charm of the piece without detracting significantly from its visual appeal.
