Millicent Watson is a 1750 oil by George Romney, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The painting depicts a woman in a blue dress with white trim, sitting in front of a dark background. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a white veil that drapes over her shoulders. The woman's expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed at the viewer. A subtle detail in the painting is the way the light catches the folds of the woman's dress, creating a sense of depth and texture. This attention to detail suggests that the artist was skilled at capturing the nuances of light and shadow.
