The painting shows a woman sitting in a chair, looking straight at us. She's dressed in old-fashioned clothes from the 18th century. The artist paid attention to details like her hair and jewelry. The woman in the painting, Jane Hoskyns, was married to Sir John Read. The artist also painted her husband's portrait, but a few years later. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of George Romney.
