I was looking around online because the description of Lily at the costume party kind of intrigued me. I wanted to know what the painting she was supposed to be imitating. "not to the brush-work of Reynolds' "Mrs. Lloyd" but to the flesh-and-blood loveliness of Lily Bart" (135).
I googled Reynolds and Mrs Lloyd and found this link:

No wonder everyone was so impressed/shocked - the costume seems rather flimsy.
