Born Hester Boldero of Darrington, Yorkshire, the sitter married Stephen Lushington (1744-1807) of Southill Park, Bedfordshire in 1771. Her husband later became a director of the East India Company in 1782. Romney evidently took care in composing and executing this elegant three-quarter-length portrait, as eight sittings in his studio are recorded between 5 February and 21 May 1789. The sitter’s pose and the loose brush work lend the likeness a ‘particularly casual’ impression (Kidson, loc. cit.). The Lushingtons were important patrons of the artist; in addition to this portrait Romney painted portraits of the sitter’s son, her nephew and her niece (ibid, pp. 375-376. nos. 821, 822, 823).
