About the piece
This 1769 portrait by artist Matthew Pratt captures Christiana Stille Keen in a graceful side profile. The work showcases refined technique in the rendering of light and texture, particularly in the subject's luminous blue and pink silk wraps and the delicate lace of her gown. Floral motifs at the bodice and in her hair add a touch of romantic charm to this dignified Colonial-era painting.
