Portrait of a Woman, 1818. Additional Info: A poised young woman with cascading ringlets of dark hair sits before us in a tastefully appointed interior. She is fashionably dressed in a dark blue silk dress trimmed with lace, deep orange cashmere shawl, and ornate pearl jewelry. The fan in her left hand and the opera glass and sheer, feathered bonnet on the table beside her hints at a stimulating evening out at the theater.
