About the piece
This 1762 portrait by Joseph Badger depicts Sarah Badger Noyes with a dignified presence. Rendered in the American colonial tradition, the work highlights the subject's status through her shimmering amber silk dress, fine lace trimmings, and multi-strand pearl necklace. The warm, tonal background and masterful capture of textile textures make this a quintessential piece of heritage art.
