Sarah, Mrs Francis Smith is a 1794 oil by John Opie, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting depicts a woman in a white dress, holding a letter and a quill pen. She has dark hair and is looking to her right. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The woman's dress is simple yet elegant, and her expression is calm and introspective. She appears to be lost in thought, perhaps contemplating the contents of the letter she is holding. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation.
