## Commentary

Daughter of the Count of Roslyn and wife of the Duke of Sutherland, Lady Millicent was one of the most important women in London high society. She is painted here at the age of 37 by Sargent, whose portrait exudes refinement and captures the elegance and carriage of the sitter&#39;s rank without having to resort to a busy and detailed composition. Sargent worked mainly between Paris and London, earning great fame as a society portraitist.
