About the piece

Painted in 1855 by John Jacob Hegler, this evocative oil portrait captures Alice Lyons in a tiered crimson dress. Set against a soft, atmospheric landscape, she rests a hand on her large, shaggy dog, creating a scene of quiet companionship. The work's rich colors and endearing subject matter exemplify the warmth of mid-19th-century American portraiture.
