Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 13.1 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 15.5 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 29.9 × 18.2 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Reynolds's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 240.4 × 146.4 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in The Wallace Collection, London, UK. Full size guide.

About the Painting

In Sir Joshua Reynolds’ "Mrs. Elizabeth Carnac," painted around 1775, we see not only a portrait of a fashionable 18th-century woman but a carefully crafted representation of status and wealth. Reynolds captures Mrs. Carnac in an idyllic setting, framed by trees, suggesting both her connection to nature and her place within the sophisticated circles of English society. The painting is as much about her surroundings as it is about her. She stands confidently, her voluminous silken gown spilling around her in sumptuous folds, each highlighted with a masterful play of light and shadow. This garment, richly adorned, is no ordinary dress - it speaks of luxury, of the East India Company wealth she married into, and the fineries of her elevated world.

Her expression is poised, serene, yet distant, her gaze just slightly averted from the viewer. This subtle detachment conveys an awareness of her own place in society, as if she understands the role she plays in this constructed moment of elegance. The feathers adorning her headdress further accentuate her aristocratic bearing, a nod to the fashionable excesses of the period, worn with an ease that signifies the height of privilege.

Reynolds balances Mrs. Carnac against a backdrop of nature that feels controlled and deliberate. The landscape is not wild; it is an ordered vision of nature, softened by autumnal hues and dappled light. The trees frame her gracefully, while the muted greens and browns of the background allow the shimmering whites and golds of her gown to dominate. This contrast between her soft, gleaming attire and the darker, earthy tones behind her heightens the sense of her being almost otherworldly, as if she is a goddess of fashion and fortune, momentarily descended into this serene woodland scene.

What is particularly striking about this portrait is Reynolds’ ability to merge the individual and the symbolic. Mrs. Carnac is, of course, a real woman, but she is also a representation of the social ideals of her time: wealth, beauty, and the refined control of both self and environment. Reynolds captures all of this with his characteristic painterly finesse, creating a portrait that feels both personal and timeless, a reflection of the shifting landscape of English portraiture and the identities it shaped.
