About the piece
Painted by renowned American artist Gilbert Stuart in 1804, this portrait captures First Lady Dolley Madison with the artist's signature luminous style. She is depicted in a fashionable white empire-waist dress and a shimmering gold shawl, seated before a dramatic arrangement of red velvet drapery and a glimpse of an open landscape.
