FRANCES CECIL, COUNTESS OF SALISBURY - BY JOHN SMITH AFTER SIR GODFREY KNELLER.

Portrait of Frances Cecil (née Bennett), Countess of Salisbury (1670-1713) is shown in a three-quarter length pose facing slightly left, but head slightly right in this mezzotint based on her portrait by Sir Godfrey Kneller. She is attired in a modest black gown with white collar and wears a long veil towards the back of her head. Her hands are placed one on top of the other.

A mezzotint copperplate wears progressively over time and this early impression of this celebrated print is dark, detailed, and has variations in tone.
