About the piece
Painted by American artist John Trumbull in 1802, this tender portrait depicts his wife, Sarah, in a moment of quiet affection with her spaniel. She is dressed in the fashionable Neoclassical style of the era, wearing a fine white headscarf and a high-waisted gown accented with a vibrant coral necklace and a dark, atmospheric background.
