This painting shows a woman sitting in a chair. She wears a blue dress with a white collar and a black jacket. Her hands are folded in her lap. The background is dark, with red curtains on either side. The woman's face is serious, and her eyes look straight ahead. She wears a white bonnet with lace trim. The chair has a red seat and gold arms. If you want to learn more about the artist who painted this, look up Thomas Lawrence.
