About the piece

Joseph DeCamp's 1892 masterpiece captures a moment of quiet poise through a sophisticated palette of carnation red and deep black. A founding member of 'The Ten American Painters,' DeCamp demonstrates his masterful control of light and texture, contrasting the delicate lace of the shawl against the bold, luminous planes of color.
