About the piece
Painted in 1813, this portrait by renowned American artist Thomas Sully depicts Mary Harvey, Mrs. Paul Beck, Jr. The subject is shown in a classic Regency-era ensemble, featuring a delicate high-waisted white gown, a rich mauve shawl, and a jeweled turban. Sully's mastery of light is evident in the soft glow of the skin and the intricate rendering of the lace collar, making this a quintessential example of early 19th-century elegance.
