The dress is clearly depicted, although partly obscured by a matching cape which no longer survives. The painting shows Mrs Maurice resting on a couch in the family home, Lloran House on Marlborough High Street, Wiltshire, surrounded by her husband, a doctor, David Pierce Maurice, their daughter Adelaide, and Marianne's sister Louisa. The painting shows the precise context of the home of a country doctor in the 1830s, showing the furnishings and immediate details such as Marianne’s needlework accessories on the table in the foreground. The painting has been donated to the V&A's paintings department.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Dress of printed wool with long sleeves and full length skirt, 1830s","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"2017 - Gallery 40 Star Label\r\n\r\nDay dress\r\nAbout 1837\r\nThis dress was worn by Marianne Maurice (1808–40), as seen in the intimate family portrait nearby.
