Elizabeth Fulford Welshman

Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, 1749

The portrait shows the upper body of a woman seated and turned slightly to her left, with her hands delicately holding a string of pearls. She has a composed facial expression with fair skin, rosy cheeks, dark eyes, and dark hair styled in tight curls, framing her face, and partially pinned up with a green decorative piece. She is wearing a deep blue dress with a low-cut neckline and white ruffled trim, accompanied by similarly styled ruffled cuffs on her sleeves. A pink drape is wrapped around her shoulders. In the background, there is a painted landscape depicting a tree with branches extending across the top part of the image on the left and a distant view of a sky transitioning to mountains and sparse foliage on the right.
