Mrs.Daniel Denison Rogers 1784

John Singleton Copley’s 1784 portrait of Mrs. Daniel Denison Rogers is a prime example of the artist’s signature style. Copley, a prominent American painter of the late 18th century, is known for his meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of his subjects. Mrs. Rogers is depicted in an elegant white gown and a large, elaborate hat, evoking the fashion and social status of the era. The soft, muted colors and the subtle play of light and shadow enhance the painting’s naturalism and contribute to the work's enduring appeal. This portrait, housed in the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, is a testament to Copley’s mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
