About the piece
Painted in 1804 by renowned American portraitist Gilbert Stuart, this work depicts Ann Calvert Stuart Robinson. Stuart’s masterful technique is evident in the luminous treatment of the sitter’s skin and the delicate lace detailing of her empire-waist gown, contrasted sharply against a rich, dark backdrop.
