About this work

This portrait shows a woman sitting in a chair, facing the viewer. She wears a dark blue dress with a white ruffled collar and a red shawl draped over her lap. Her dark hair is styled in an updo, and she gazes directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The woman's hands are clasped together in her lap, and she sits against a plain brown background. The overall mood of the painting is formal and serene. If you like this painting, you might also enjoy the work of artist Charles C. Ingham.
