Margaret Sarah Carpenter
England
18th-19th centuries.
Romantic painter who was awarded multiple times who stablished her reputation as a fashionable portrait painter. In the case of this piece, the subject of the portrait happens to be the great Ada Lovelace, mother of the computer language.
An art reviewer once wrote about her:“It very rarely happens that a specimen of art like this is produced from the hand of a lady: Here are colour, light, strength and effect, and anatomical drawing”. Terrible compliment!
