Mrs. Annie C. Hyde 1863

"Mrs. Annie C. Hyde" is an 1863 portrait miniature by John Wood Dodge, an American artist known for his portraiture. The painting depicts Mrs. Hyde in a simple white dress with a dark shawl draped over her shoulders. Her serious expression and elegant posture suggest a woman of refinement and stature. This miniature, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies Dodge's skill in capturing likeness and detail in a small format, common in the 19th century.
