About the piece
Painted in 1767, this masterful portrait by John Singleton Copley captures Sarah Sherburne Langdon with remarkable clarity and elegance. The subject is depicted against a dramatic backdrop of deep red drapery and a twilight sky, her silk garments and the fresh lilies in her arms rendered with the artist's signature attention to texture and light.
