EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing Miss Chudleigh, a woman of scandalous reputation in the 18th century. In this engraving titled "Miss Chudleigh (1720-88) in the Character of Iphigenia at the Venetian Ambassadors Masquerade" we see her adorned with a garland of fig leaves, portraying the character Iphigenia at a masquerade ball. The image captures Miss Chudleigh's audacious nature as she appeared at this masked ball in 1749, shocking attendees by being nearly naked, resembling Andromeda herself. Known for her beauty and unconventional behavior, she was an enigmatic figure within high society. Behind her alluring facade lies Elizabeth, Countess of Bristol and Duchess of Kingston. This portrait immortalizes not only her physical allure but also hints at her controversial personal life. Miss Chudleigh became embroiled in a bigamy trial in 1776 when it was revealed that she had secretly married another man while still legally wed to another. Despite these scandals and trials, Miss Chudleigh remained an influential figure among aristocracy due to her undeniable charm and social standing. This photograph serves as a reminder of both her captivating beauty and the controversies that surrounded this fascinating woman.
