Catherine Yates Pollock 1793 - 1794

Gilbert Stuart’s 1793-1794 portrait of Catherine Yates Pollock exemplifies his Neoclassical style. The sitter is depicted in a serene, composed pose, her gaze directed forward. Dressed in elegant, simple attire with a lace-trimmed bodice, her delicate features and modest jewelry accentuate her refined demeanor. This work is a classic example of Stuart’s mastery of portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the sitter’s personality and social status.
