About the piece
Painted by Joseph Badger around 1746, this oil portrait depicts Mrs. Richard Kent (Hannah Gookin) with a serene and steady presence. Seated in a high-backed red chair, her figure is set against a dual backdrop that contrasts a dark, formal interior with a soft, atmospheric landscape visible through a window. The work is a prime example of early American portraiture, reflecting the understated elegance and character of the colonial era.
