About the piece
Painted in 1835 by renowned American folk artist Ammi Phillips, this portrait of Jane Storm Teller exemplifies the artist's signature style of crisp lines and dramatic tonal contrast. Seated on a vibrant red sofa, the subject wears a voluminous black dress accented by a delicate, pleated lace collar and a sheer bonnet, creating a piece that is both a historical record and a masterful graphic composition.
