About the piece
Painted in 1808 by the renowned American artist Thomas Sully, this portrait of Sally Etting exudes early 19th-century elegance. The sitter is depicted in a white Empire-waist gown, rendered with the luminous skin tones and soft, painterly touch characteristic of Sully's masterful style.
