Mrs. Joshua Henshaw II 1772

"Mrs. Joshua Henshaw II" is an oil painting by John Singleton Copley, a prominent American artist of the 18th century, painted in 1772. The portrait depicts a woman in a pink dress and a blue shawl, a popular style of the period. Copley's attention to detail and realistic rendering are evident in the subject's delicate features and the rich textures of the fabrics. This work is a fine example of Copley's early style and reflects the growing sophistication of American portraiture during this era.
