About the piece
Painted in 1889 by American artist Susan Merrill Ketcham, this oil-on-canvas study explores the dramatic silhouette of late 19th-century fashion. The composition is anchored by an oversized black hat that frames the subject's contemplative expression, while the delicate lace of her collar provides a luminous counterpoint to the deep, tonal values of her attire.
