| Description |
Lady Selina Caroline Meade (1797–1872) was the second daughter of Richard Meade, 2nd Earl of Clanwilliam (1766–1805) and his wife, Countess Caroline (third daughter of Joseph Count of Thun-Hohenstein in Bohemia). Selina was courted by Lord Granville Leveson-Gower , but Lady Selina Caroline married the Austrian General and field Marshal Karl II. Johann Nepomuk Count Clam-Martinic (1792-1840) in 1821. Sir Thomas Lawrence painted this portrait of her in April 1819, when he was in Vienna painting portraits of allied leaders for the Prince of Wales, a series known as the Waterloo Portraits. Lawrence described her as "in beauty and interesting character, one of the most distinguished persons in Vienna". Lady Selina Caroline is painted half-length, body facing right with head turned in three-quarter profile, looking at viewer; wearing a white satin dress with lace-edged décolletage, long full gathered sleeves, and a thin sash under the bust, multiple-strand pearl necklace and pearl drop earrings, and her hair in a topknot with ringlets. She holds a posy in her left hand. In the background at lower right is the Stephansdom in Vienna. |
