| Description |  |
This portrait seems to have be painted as a rectangle and then changed to an oval format. It is one of Stuart's most virtuosic paintings, clearly from his first years in London. It seems to be inspired by Thomas Gainsborough, whose paintings the young American certainly saw and admired in England.
