Object history
English: The picture was bought by the 4th Marquess of Hertford in 1849 at the sale of Gore House and its contents where, since 1836, Marguerite had been living with the so-called ‘dandy’ Alfred, Count D’Orsay (1801—1852). Between 1836 and 1849, the Countess had established a renowned salon at there, where she also met the 4th Marquess.
Notes
English: Wellknown for her accomplishments and good looks, lady Blessington had a literary salon at Gore House, Kensington. This portrait has been said to be one of Lawrence's finest characterizations.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1830, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
