This exquisite drawing is among Lawrence's most impressive works, and shows the delicacy and refinement of execution, and the elegance of vision which explain the artist’s complete dominance of fashionable portraiture for the next four decades. The most striking feature of the portrait, perhaps, is Mrs Denham's large and elaborate hat, a fashion of the 1780s later known as a picture hat from its prominence in the paintings of Lawrence and Thomas Gainsborough.
