About the piece
Painted in 1768, this portrait by the renowned American artist John Singleton Copley depicts Mrs. Ebenezer Austin with remarkable realism. The work showcases Copley's mastery in rendering textures, from the luminous sheen of the white satin shawl to the delicate lace of her bonnet, set against a somber, grounding background that emphasizes the sitter's presence.
