Cropped three-quarter-length version of a full-length portrait of mrs. Lowndes-stone (1758-1837), née elizabeth garth, taken about the time of her marriage to her cousin william lowndes-stone in 1775. She is depicted in a wooded landscape, wearing a salmon-coloured silk dress and a transparent gauze shawl trimmed with a gold fringe; her unpowdered brown hair is swept back from her face and falls in curls around her shoulders. This portrait of mrs. Lowndes-stone is frequently confused and/or misidentified as a portrait of lady elizabeth conyngham by sir thomas lawrence from the early 1820s (which itself is frequently misidentified as one of her mother, countess conyngham, later marchioness conyngham). Both portraits are in the museu calouste gulbenkian. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: circa 1775. Dimensions: height: 232 cm (91.3 in) ; width: 153 cm (60.2 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Depicted People: Elizabeth Garth. Collection: Calouste Gulbenkian Museum. Mrs. Lowndes-Stone, c. 1775, by Thomas Gainsborough
