About the Item

Portrait of Miss Elizabeth Brooke Irish School, circa 1800 circle of James Dowling Herbert (1762-1837) Irish watercolour painting on paper, framed in antique gilt frame, behind glass. condition: beautiful condition and ready to hang provenance: from a private collection here in England. We learn from the old writing verso that Elizabeth Brooke was the daughter of Francis Brooke Esq. Elizabeth is shown standing in a pastoral landscape, dressed in a flowing white Empire-line gown, her figure softly modelled and her expression composed yet gently animated. The simplicity of the costume, natural pose, and outdoor setting lend the work an unmistakably “Jane Austen” sensibility—evoking the world of Regency England, country walks, and understated social elegance. Her turned head and delicate handling of features convey both poise and individuality, hallmarks of high-quality portrait watercolour of the period. The palette is subtle and harmonious, with pale flesh tones, muted greens, and soft sky washes, allowing the sitter’s presence to remain central without ostentation. Such works were typically commissioned by landed families and intended for intimate domestic settings rather than formal display, enhancing their personal and historical resonance today. An ideal acquisition for country house interiors, this portrait would sit beautifully within a Georgian, Regency, or traditional English setting. It will equally appeal to collectors of early British and Irish portraiture, admirers of Jane Austen–era aesthetics, and those drawn to works that combine documentary interest with refined artistic execution. A charming and evocative survivor of the early 19th century, offering both decorative appeal and a tangible connection to the genteel world of Georgian Britain and Ireland.
