About the piece
Painted in 1824 by Samuel Finley Breese Morse, this portrait captures Lydia Coit Terry with dignified grace. Morse, better known today for his contributions to telegraphy, shows his considerable skill as a painter through the exquisite rendering of the sitter's lace cap and the luminous contrast of the red shawl against her dark gown.
