About the piece
Painted circa 1825, this portrait of Lois Belding Ketcham is a quintessential example of Ammi Phillips' iconic folk art style. The work showcases the artist's celebrated ability to render delicate textures—seen here in the intricate lace of the bonnet and the sheer shawl—contrasted against bold, flat silhouettes that give the piece a timeless, modern presence.
