Description
"Lady Foster stands with a scroll, in a romanticised image that imagines her as the Roman prophetess who foretold the coming of Christ. Second daughter of the Earl Bishop of Derry, Lady Elizabeth was famed as a great beauty. She married, and subsequently separated from, politician John Foster of Co. Louth. In 1782, Lady Foster and the 5th Duke of Devonshire became lovers. They lived together at Chatsworth, Derbyshire, with his wife Georgiana. Following the birth of a number of illegitimate children, Lady Foster married the Duke of Devonshire in 1809."

Licensing

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, 1931.

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.
