Portrait of Harriott West (Later Mrs. William Woodgate) is a 1809 oil by Thomas Lawrence, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a woman with dark, curly hair and a white dress adorned with a red scarf. She is holding a small, gold object in her hands. The background of the painting is dark and blurry. The woman's dress and scarf are the main focus of the painting, with the dark background drawing attention to her. The gold object she is holding adds a touch of elegance to the overall scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, highlighting the woman's features and the textures of her clothing.
Sir Thomas Lawrence (13 April 1769 – 7 January 1830) was an English painter who served as the fourth president of the Royal Academy.
