About the piece
Painted circa 1790 by the Denison Limner, this portrait of Elizabeth Denison captures the distinct charm of early American itinerant art. The subject is depicted in a vibrant red gown with delicate lace cuffs and an elaborate coiffure adorned with black feathers and small flowers, creating a composition that is both formal and wonderfully characterful.
