About the piece
Created in 1840 by Canadian painter Antoine Plamondon, this oil on canvas portrait of Abigail Towne demonstrates a masterful command of texture and light. The work highlights the intricate craftsmanship of 19th-century fashion, specifically the delicate lace of the subject's bonnet and the heavy silk of her dark dress, set against a quiet, dark background that focuses attention on the sitter's dignified expression.
