About the piece
Painted around 1845 by Lucinda Redmon Orear, this portrait captures Permelia Redmon Wheeler with a delightful folk-art sensibility. The sitter is depicted in an elaborate white patterned dress with lace details and blue ribbons, her hands resting near a red book and a pink rose, set against a background of rolling hills and draped blue curtains.
