Portrait of a Lady in Red

Amerikanische Malerei 1770–1790, c. 1785/1790

The image shows a woman from the waist up, facing the viewer directly with her upper body slightly turned to the left. She has a serene expression and light-colored eyes with a soft, closed-mouth smile. Her hair is styled with flowers and pearls, and she is wearing a dark red gown with lace trim. She has a black ribbon tied around her neck in a bow and is holding a pink flower in her hands. The background is a textured, muted green.
