EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are introduced to Mrs. Edward Bridgeman, a woman of elegance and grace. Painted by Henry Walton in the late 18th century, this oil on canvas print showcases her beauty and poise. Mrs. Bridgeman is depicted sitting astride a majestic horse, exuding confidence as she holds onto the reins with one hand and a riding crop in the other. Her equestrian skills are evident as she effortlessly commands the attention of both her steed and the viewer. Dressed in an exquisite habit, Mrs. Bridgeman epitomizes sophistication with her fashionable attire tailored specifically for horseback riding. The intricate details of her outfit highlight not only her status but also reflect the fashion trends of that era. The setting reveals a mounting block behind Mrs. Bridgeman, indicating that she is about to embark on another exhilarating ride or perhaps has just returned from one. This small detail adds depth to the narrative captured within this artwork. As part of Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, this painting serves as a testament to Walton's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both physical likeness and inner character through portraiture. This remarkable piece invites us into Mrs. Edward Bridgeman's world - where strength meets femininity - leaving us captivated by her presence long after our gaze leaves the canvas.
