About the piece

Painted in 1882 by Frank Duveneck, this evocative portrait features Mary Cabot Wheelwright as a child. Duveneck employs a dramatic chiaroscuro technique, allowing the bright whites of her dress and the soft features of her face to emerge from a deep, shadowy background, creating a timeless and elegant composition that showcases the artist's masterful Realist technique.
