About the piece
Painted in 1868 by Guglielmo de Sanctis, this formal portrait captures Mrs. Cleveland in a moment of quiet repose. She is dressed in a sumptuous dark green velvet gown accented with delicate lace, seated between a classical column and a rich orange-red curtain. The distant view of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome adds a touch of historical grandeur to this refined Victorian-era work.
