Amy Taylor Dickson (Mrs. John Dickson)

Amerikanische Malerei 1827–1835, c. 1835

The image shows a bust-length portrait of a seated woman, facing slightly left with her head turned towards the viewer. Her right hand rests on her chest. She has soft facial features, gentle eyes, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips. She wears a dark garment with long sleeves, complemented by a light-colored lace shawl or collar. Her dark hair is covered by an ornately layered lace cap. The background is a simple, muted brown, likely wood-paneled.
