Mary Ellis Bell (Mrs. Isaac Bell)

Amerikanische Malerei 1827–1835, ca. 1827

The image shows a portrait of a person from the mid-torso upwards. The person is seated, facing forward, with a mirror behind reflecting the side of her face in profile. She has fair skin, dark curly hair, and is wearing a light-colored dress with puffed short sleeves and a floral element at the bust. A patterned fabric is draped over her right arm as she sits with her fingers resting on her lap. The background is simple with a dark greenish hue, partially showing a large oval mirror and a reddish curtain on the left.
