Portrait of Lady Charlotte Maria Waldegrave; half-length in profile to left.
Charlotte Fitzroy, Countess of Euston (1761 – 1808), formerly Lady Charlotte Maria Waldegrave, was the wife of George FitzRoy, 4th Duke of Grafton. Although she is sometimes referred to as “Duchess of Grafton”, her husband did not inherit the dukedom until 1811, after his wife’s death.
From the drawing by John Downman (1750 – 1824). British portraitist of the late eighteenth century, who received the patronage of both members of the royal family and icons of fashion. Working mainly in watercolour and pastel, he specialised in small format images that often depicted the half-length of the sitter in profile or semi-profile.
