Euphemia White Van Rensselaer 1842

George P. A. Healy's 1842 portrait, *Euphemia White Van Rensselaer*, depicts the subject in a three-quarter-length pose, standing against a cloudy landscape. Dressed in a black velvet dress with a green sash and a large yellow bonnet adorned with feathers, she is depicted with a gentle and elegant demeanor. The artist's signature realism and attention to detail are evident in the intricate rendering of her clothing, the textured landscape, and the subject's lifelike expression. This portrait is a prime example of Healy's skill as a portraitist and his ability to capture the refinement and sophistication of his elite clientele.
