American Paintings from the Collection of the National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts the upper half of a woman's body. She is turned slightly to the left and faces us, with pale skin, soft, rosy cheeks, dark brown eyes, and a neutral expression. She has curly brown hair that is in an updo, with small curls framing her forehead. She is wearing a short-sleeved black dress with a square, lace-trimmed neckline, and has a bright red shawl draped over her shoulders. The background is a solid dark brown color.
Gilbert Stuart, Ann Calvert Stuart Robinson (Mrs. William Robinson), c. 1804, oil on wood, Andrew W. Mellon Collection, 1942.8.22
