About the piece
Painted in 1842 by Henry Inman, this formal portrait captures Angelica Singleton Van Buren, the daughter-in-law of President Martin Van Buren and acting First Lady. The work is renowned for its sophisticated rendering of textures, from the shimmering silk of her gown to the soft ostrich feathers of her headpiece, all set against a dignified interior background featuring a neoclassical bust.
