About the piece
Painted around 1845 by American artist Sheldon Peck, this oil on panel portrait captures Harriet Brown with the characteristic directness of the folk tradition. The sitter is depicted in a sober black dress and an intricate lace shawl, her hand resting on a Bible to signify her piety and social standing.
