The original portrait was painted by renowned British portrait artist George Romney (1734–1802) between 1781 and 1783. It depicts young Juliana Willoughby wearing a wide-brimmed bonnet tied with a pink ribbon against a softly painted landscape and blue sky. The original painting is part of the National Gallery of Art collection in Washington, D.C.
This vintage reproduction has a wonderfully decorative octagonal metal form with an elaborate embossed border. Repeating black-and-gold acanthus-style foliage surrounds the portrait, while antiqued gold-toned inner and outer borders give the piece the appearance of an ornate period frame.
The portrait itself has a textured printed appearance that complements the aged metallic finish beautifully. The combination of the Regency/Georgian portrait subject and 1970s decorative treatment gives this piece a distinctive vintage English-country or traditional look.
