Description |
English: English: Portrait of Barbara Coventry, Countess of Coventry (1737-1804), wife of George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry (1722-1809).
The second wife of the Earl of Coventry, who was born Barbara St. John Bletsoe, is shown as an aristocrat dressed in fine muslin embroidered with gold thread and wearing a golden pin with a ruby and dangling pearls. Although she is pensive and at rest, the Countess has beside her on the table a large shuttle that attests to her industry and skill in fancy work. The instrument was used to make knotted lace, a forerunner of the tatted lace made with smaller shuttles by nineteenth- and twentieth-century ladies. |
