An interesting mid 19th Century portrait depicting a finely dressed young lady. She wears a tartan shawl draped around her shoulders, and a large ruby brooch, suggesting that she is a lady of some status. Her delicate lace dress is characteristic of 1840's fashion, with low, sloping shoulders, and a low pointed waist.
The artist has delicately captured this young lady, paying close attention to the facial features and lace detail in her clothing. Her large, round eyes give a childlike, innocent feel to the composition, while her loose hair suggests she is unmarried.
This fine portrait is well presented in a dark wooden frame with gilt slip.
