About the piece

Painted circa 1730 by the Gansevoort Limner, this portrait of Susanna Truax is a hallmark of early American folk art. The composition features the young subject in a vibrant red and green striped dress, holding a flower and a sugar cube, standing beside a formal tea service. The work’s flattened perspective and emphasis on decorative pattern give it a timeless, graphic quality that complements both traditional and modern settings.
