Note du spécialiste

This portrait purportedly depicts the Viennese dancer Eva-Maria Veigel (1725-1822), known as Violetti, who married the actor David Garrick (1717-1779) on 22 June 1749, having emigrated to London in 1746. Her patron was Dorothy Boyle, wife of the 3rd Earl of Burlington, who initially discouraged the match as she believed Garrick to be beneath Eva-Maria.
