Martha Randolph Jefferson 

This portrait of Martha Randolph Jefferson, painted by the renowned American artist Thomas Sully, captures the subject’s quiet grace and poise. Sully was a prominent portrait painter, known for his realistic and flattering depictions of individuals, often highlighting their social standing and character. The painting's simple composition, focused on the subject's face and upper torso, further emphasizes Jefferson’s refined presence. Sully’s attention to detail, evident in the delicate lace of her cap and the soft folds of her clothing, adds to the overall sense of elegance and refinement, which is consistent with Sully’s other portraits of prominent figures in American society.
