Elizabeth Crompton is a 1790 oil by Joseph Wright of Derby, a Rococo painting work, held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
The painting features a woman dressed in 18th-century attire, with a white bonnet and a light-colored shawl draped over her shoulders. Her dress is a deep red color, adorned with a ruffled bodice and a high neckline. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject's features. The woman's facial expression is calm and serene, with a subtle smile playing on her lips. Her eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that she is lost in thought. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the subject's inner world. This painting is by Joseph Wright of Derby.
Joseph Wright (3 September 1734 – 29 August 1797), styled Joseph Wright of Derby, was an English painter who specialised in portrait painting and landscape art.
