Mrs. Samuel Chandler

Amerikanische Malerei 1770–1790, c. 1780

The artwork depicts a seated woman shown from the waist up, positioned slightly to the side. She has a composed expression with light skin and her hair is partially covered by a pink and white bonnet adorned with lace. She is wearing a brown dress with intricate white lace patterns and pink bows, complemented by a shawl over her shoulders. Her hands are covered with black lace gloves, and she holds a decorative fan with floral patterns. The background features a dark wooden bookshelf filled with books and draped blue curtains, with a red round table to her side.
