About the piece
Painted in 1792 by Ralph Earl, this formal portrait depicts Mrs. Richard Alsop with a sense of quiet dignity. She is dressed in an elaborate white lace cap and shawl over a dark green silk gown, demonstrating the artist's skill in rendering delicate textiles. The inclusion of a scenic window view of a winding river adds depth and a characteristically American naturalist touch to the composition.
