This painting shows a woman in a dark dress with a white lace collar. Her face is calm and well-lit against a plain background. The artist used soft brushstrokes to make her look graceful. The portrait copies Reynolds’ style but isn’t by him. It’s by someone who admired his work. The lady’s calm look makes her seem strong but gentle. Check out Joshua Reynolds (British, 1723–1792) next.
