About the piece

Painted in 1878 by Eliphalet Frazer Andrews for the White House, this formal portrait depicts Martha Washington in a luminous white gown with a red quilted underskirt. The composition exudes a sense of quiet dignity and historical heritage, rendered with the sophisticated academic technique characteristic of late 19th-century American portraiture.
