Portrait of a Woman is a 1832 by George Richmond, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair. She's wearing a dark dress with a fur-trimmed shawl around her shoulders. Her hair is curled and pulled back. The background is light, with some plants on the left side. The woman looks serious, but there's a hint of a smile. Her eyes seem to be looking right at you. The artist used soft colors to make the scene feel calm. The Romanticism movement is known for its focus on emotion and nature. This painting fits right in with that style.
