About the piece
Painted in 1767 by the renowned artist John Singleton Copley, this charming portrait captures a young girl in a lustrous pink satin gown. Accompanied by a loyal spaniel and a small bird, the work showcases Copley's mastery of light and texture, particularly evident in the rendering of the fabric's sheen and the animal fur. This piece exemplifies the refined elegance of colonial-era American portraiture.
