About the piece
Painted in 1811, this masterful portrait by British artist James Ward captures the quiet dignity of an unidentified sitter. The woman is dressed in a striking yellow empire-waist gown with delicate lace details, her face framed by an ornate lace cap. To her side, a window reveals a sweeping landscape under a sunset sky, adding depth and a touch of Romanticism to this classic Regency-era work.
