A partially completed oil painting of Maria, Lady Callcott, by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1819). She is depicted wearing a white headscarf and loose white garments. Her dark hair peeks out from under the scarf, framing her face. She has a thoughtful expression, gazing slightly to the side with rosy lips and fair skin. The background is dark and muted, contrasting with the lighter tones of her clothing and face. The lower part of the painting remains unfinished, with visible brushstrokes and areas of exposed canvas. National Portrait Gallery, London.
