The Artist's Niece (Sophia Wilkie, later Mrs James Winfield) is a 1829 oil by David Wilkie, a British Romanticism work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This portrait shows a young woman with dark hair and a gentle expression. She wears a dark jacket with a white collar and a red necklace. Her right hand is raised to her neck, and she looks directly at the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and jewelry. The background is dark, which helps to focus attention on the woman's face and upper body. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of David Wilkie.
