Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire.
She was one of those incredibly comely and charismatic women who appeared to have perfect lives full of fashion, fun and frivolity, but were actually miserable as hell in private. She even had one of the worst frenemies in history in the person of Lady Bess Foster. There’s something so lovable about Georgiana – her charm was so enormous, so huge that it can still be felt today. One may feel impatience when reading about her debts and disorderly lifestyle but nonetheless it is impossible not to feel sympathy for her.

This is an illustration to a short story about Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire but annoyingly seems to be based on the Angelica Kauffman portrait of her frenemy Lady Elizabeth Foster instead. Awkward.

The Drunk Georgiana gown from The Duchess. I love the deadpan way that her husband orders a footman to put her hair out after she manages to set it on fire.
