Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis (Mrs. Lawrence Lewis)

Ritrattistica americana, 1804

This painting is a portrait of a seated woman looking off to the left with a composed expression. She has light skin with rosy cheeks, brown eyes, and slightly upturned pink lips. Her curly brown hair is styled on top of her head with a small floral clip or decoration. She is wearing a white dress with short sleeves and a low neckline with a wide collar. Around her waist is a thin belt with gold and light-blue designs, and a translucent cloth with a similar pattern is draped over her right forearm. Her other arm rests over the edge of the tan chair she sits in, and she brings her hand up slightly below her chin. A thin gold band is visible on one of her fingers. The background is a plain, muted brown color, with a curved tan section at the very top.
