About this work

This print shows a woman in a dark dress with white lace at her neck and wrists. The artist used tiny dots and lines to shade her face. The light hits her cheek and forehead just right. The artist, Saint-Mémin, often made portraits like this. He worked in America around 1800. His style feels quiet and careful. Check out another of his prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
