About the piece
Painted in 1782 by the prominent early American artist Charles Willson Peale, this work depicts Deborah McClenachan (Mrs. Walter Stewart) in a moment of poised contemplation. Peale masterfully renders the iridescent quality of her green mantle and the delicate transparency of her lace sleeves, set against a warm, atmospheric interior featuring apples and a stringed instrument.
