About the piece
Painted in 1813 by American master Thomas Sully, this portrait of Mary Sicard David exemplifies the grace of the Romantic era. The sitter is depicted with soft, luminous skin and dark ringlets, her simple white gown contrasted beautifully by the bold, sweeping folds of a vibrant red shawl against a dramatic, cloudy landscape.
