Angelica Kauffman: A Multifaceted Artist
Angelica Kauffman was a skilled artist and musician. She played the glass harmonica, cittern, and recited poetry to her guests.
Her large expressive eyes devoutly cast upwards, she elicited haunting chimes from a set of gradated glasses.
- In 1767, Kauffman depicted the Duchess of Brunswick in a portrait, showcasing her classical style.
- Her studio was a hub for creative expression, with guests often attending portrait sittings.
