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.

The author died in 1830, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
