Elizabeth Green (Mrs. Ebenezer Storer II) 1764 - 1770

John Singleton Copley's 18th-century portrait, "Elizabeth Green (Mrs. Ebenezer Storer II)", showcases a woman of grace and sophistication. The subject, depicted in a teal gown with a delicate lace collar and a single pink rose tucked near her bosom, embodies the refined style of the era. The sitter's calm gaze and subtly arranged hair emphasize a sense of composure and social standing. Copley's masterful use of light and shadow further accentuates the subject's features, creating a sense of depth and realism. This iconic portrait, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, remains a testament to Copley's artistry and the aesthetic sensibilities of colonial America.
