About the piece
Painted in 1842 by Joseph Kyle, this oil on canvas portrait captures the quiet strength of abolitionist and suffragist Lucretia Coffin Mott. Dressed in her characteristic Quaker attire, the luminous treatment of her white shawl and cap creates a striking focal point against the dark, atmospheric background.
