Artwork That Moves Me: Sir Thomas Lawrence's "Miss Harriet Clements"

I have always been a fan of Thomas Lawrence, but this piece especially really has a lot of characteristics that make it stand out. Even though she is sitting, there is such a sense of movement with everything outside of her face. The glowing highlight is so beautifully done without being too garish. I could look at this all day.
