About this work

This is a portrait of a woman in a dark dress with a high white collar and bow. She wears a lace cap on her head, and her hair is pulled back. The background is plain and greenish, keeping the focus on her face. The painting looks like it was done with soft brushstrokes, especially on her skin and hair. The lighting is gentle, making her features look natural rather than sharp. Next, look up Wellman, Robert to see more of his work.

Robert Wellman

Robert Wellman’s portraits feel like postcards from a world where everyone’s dressed for Sunday and the light bounces off silk the way it does on wet cobblestones.
