About the piece
Painted in 1879 by James Carroll Beckwith, this oil on canvas portrait depicts Mrs. William C. Bartlett with a quiet dignity. The composition is defined by the sharp contrast between the dark, detailed lace of her dress and the rich, textured red shawl that provides a vibrant pop of color against the neutral, painterly background.
