About the piece
Painted in 1838 by the celebrated folk artist Ammi Phillips, this portrait of Jeannette Woolley exemplifies the artist's refined 'Kent Period.' The subject is rendered with sculptural clarity, wearing a fashionable olive green dress with voluminous sleeves and a delicate lace collar, set against a signature deep crimson backdrop that lends the piece a sophisticated, grounding presence.
