EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant portrait, Countess Louisa Madeleine Hawkins, later Countess of Kintore, is depicted in the height of Regency-era fashion. Dressed in a flowing, ivory gown with intricate lace detailing, Louisa's refined beauty and poised demeanor exude an air of sophistication and grace. Her dark hair, styled in loose curls, frames her delicate features, and her piercing eyes gaze intently at the viewer. Born in 1801 as the eldest daughter of Sir Charles Hawkins, 1st Baronet, and his wife, Louisa Madeleine Hawkins was raised in the upper echelons of Regency society. In circa 1820, she married Francis, the fifth Earl of Kintore, and became a countess. The marriage brought her into the esteemed Kintore family, which boasted a long and storied history in Scottish and British nobility. As a countess, Louisa was expected to uphold the social graces and duties that came with her new title. She would have attended numerous balls, dinners, and other social events, where she would have engaged in polite conversation, displayed her knowledge of the latest fashions, and demonstrated her skills in music, dancing, and other refined arts. This portrait, likely taken around 1840, captures a moment in time when Louisa was at the pinnacle of her social status and influence. Her timeless beauty and regal bearing serve as a reminder of the elegance and refinement of the Regency era, a period in history that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
