About this work

The painting shows a portrait of Elizabeth Selden McClurg Wickham. She is depicted in a simple yet elegant setting. Her marriage to John Wickham in 1800 is a notable part of her story, and this portrait was made just a few years later. The artist used a lot of detail to create this portrait. The subject's face and clothing are carefully rendered. This level of detail suggests the artist was skilled. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
