About the piece
Painted in 1765, this striking portrait by John Singleton Copley depicts Mrs. George Watson (Elizabeth Oliver). The work is celebrated for the artist's virtuosic ability to render textures, from the heavy, lustrous folds of the rose-pink silk gown to the delicate translucency of the lace trim and the glossy finish of the porcelain vase.
