Charlotte Corday is a 1793 paint by Pierre-Michel Alix, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a small, oval portrait of a woman with light brown hair pulled back under a white cap. She wears a white high-necked dress with a red shawl draped over her shoulders. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her face. The name "Charlotte Corday" is written below the portrait, suggesting this is a famous figure.
