About the piece
Painted in 1796 by Irish-born artist Walter Robertson, this oil portrait captures Sarah McClean Bolton in the refined style of the period. The work is particularly notable for its meticulous rendering of the sitter's translucent white bonnet and draped shawl, which provide a luminous contrast against the dark, atmospheric background and the rich tones of her dress.
