Portrait of Lady Anne Conolly (née Wentworth) (1713-1797)

While specific techniques used by Ross in this portrait are not detailed here, the composition suggests a traditional approach to portraiture, with attention to texture (lace, fabric) and potentially chiaroscuro, given the contrast between the subject and the dark brown background.

Painted circa 1988 by Anthony Lee Ross, a British artist more commonly associated with children's book illustrations (e.g., *Little Princess*, *Horrid Henry*), the portrait is now held in the National Gallery of Ireland.

Notably, the subject, Lady Anne Conolly, lived in the 18th century, over a century before the artist's time, suggesting the portrait is a historical interpretation rather than a contemporary depiction.

The legacy of this specific portrait is not widely documented beyond its inclusion in the National Gallery of Ireland, reflecting more on Ross's versatility as an artist beyond his popular children's illustrations.
