About this work

This portrait features a woman dressed in a black dress with a white ruffled collar and a matching bonnet. She is seated in front of a red tablecloth, with a red curtain behind her. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest an early 19th-century setting. A notable detail is the woman's gaze, which seems to be directed at the viewer. Her expression is neutral, adding to the overall sense of formality in the portrait. For more information on the artist behind this work, look up Henry Raeburn.
