This painting is a portrait of a woman. She is wearing a white dress with a ruffled collar and a matching hat. The background is a dark color. The woman's face is painted in detail, with a serious expression. Her eyes are looking straight ahead, and her mouth is closed. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The painting is a great example of Gilbert Stuart's skill as a portrait artist.
