About the piece
Painted around 1820 by the American artist Samuel Lovett Waldo, this formal portrait captures Maria Clarissa Leavitt with impressive technical skill. The work is defined by the striking contrast of her intricate, ruffled lace collar and patterned white shawl against the deep tones of her dress, all set within a classic interior composition.
