Portrait of Mrs W. Collins is a 1826 oil by Margaret Sarah Carpenter, a British Romanticism work, held at Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
This portrait shows a woman in a dark hood and a yellow dress with a white ruffled collar. She is holding a book in her right hand. The woman's face is serious, and her eyes look straight ahead. Her dark hood frames her face, and her yellow dress has a high neckline. The white ruffled collar adds a touch of elegance to her outfit. She is holding a book in her right hand, and her left hand is not visible. The painting is a great example of the artist's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression.
