Portrait of Lady Jane Ellenborough
Portrait of Lady Jane Ellenborough c1831 by German Painter Joseph Karl Stieler (1781 – 1858); is known for his portraits of mid nineteenth century royalty.
This is a beautiful portrait of Lady Jane Ellenborough gazing skywards from a balcomy that over sees a grand coastal landscape with mountains and grasslands in the far distance.
Behind her is a deep red velvet drape with gold lock accents in the front and rear supported with gold rope.
She is wearing a deep blue off shoulder dress and a large gold rope chain around the shoulder area of the dress that compliments the gold headpiece she is wearing that highlights her hair and golden lock curls.
Lady Jane Ellenborough was born Jane Elizabeth Digby (1807 – 1881), to Admiral Henry Digby (1770 – 1842) a Lady Jane Elizabeth Coke, and gained fame during her incredible love life and lifestyle; having four hudsbands and a multitude of lovers.
I have another portrait of Jane Digby painted by William Charles Ross that you can also view in this gallery.

Joseph was born in the city of Mainz, Germany to a long-established family of engravers, punchcutters and die makers; receiving some artistic training from his father, August Friedrich Stieler (1736 – 1789).
After the untimely death of his father, De Joseph Karl huet autodidaktesch seng Léierzäit ofgeschloss an huet seng Carrière als Miniaturemoler ugefaangen, déi vun de biergerleche Kreesser ëmmer méi gesicht goufen.
Nodeem d'Mainz vu franséische revolutionären Truppe besat gouf 1792, Stieler ass no dem verdriwwenen Haff vum Prënz-Äerzbëschof Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal op Aschaffenburg gefollegt.
Hei huet hie sech mam spéideren Äerzbëschof Karl Theodor Anton Maria von Dalberg begéint, dee säi wichtegste Patréiner a Sponsor gouf.
Vun 1802 an 1805 hien huet an der Konschtakademie Wien an der Meeschterklass vum Heinrich Füger gaangen. Dem Stieler säi Portraitstil huet sech besonnesch geprägt während senger Aarbecht am Paräisser Atelier vum François Gérard, e Student vum Jacques-Louis David.
