Portrait of Elizabeth Kerr, née Fortescue, Marchioness of Lothian is a 1770 oil by Angelica Kauffmann, a Rococo painting work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting is a portrait of a woman. She is seated and looking directly at the viewer. She has dark hair that is styled in an updo and is wearing a white dress with gold accents. Her dress is loose-fitting and has a ruffled collar. She is also wearing a green scarf around her neck. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The woman's expression is neutral, and her posture is relaxed. She appears to be confident and comfortable in her surroundings. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The painting is held at the Clark Art Institute.
