Mrs. Elizabeth Noyes Denison

Amerikanische Malerei 1790–1801, hacia 1790

The image shows an upper-body portrait of a woman sitting in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to her left. She has delicate facial features, smooth complexion, arched eyebrows, and an expression that might suggest attentiveness. Her brunette hair is styled with curls on the sides and a hairpiece topped with a lace headdress. She wears a high-necked gown with long sleeves featuring lace detailing at the cuffs and a voluminous, dark brown skirt, along with a white shawl or fichu draped around her shoulders. Her left hand is visible resting on her lap, while the other hand is unseen. A bracelet or band is visible on her right wrist. The background features a red curtain with a white trim drawn to the side, revealing a scenic view of a bridged body of water and surrounding greenery, with a partly cloudy sky above.
