Portrait of a Lady 1824 - 1830

Henry Inman's "Portrait of a Lady" (1824-1830) is an exquisite miniature painting that captures the delicate features of an unidentified woman. Inman, a prominent American portrait painter, skillfully uses the medium of watercolor on ivory to depict the subject's grace and elegance. The lady is dressed in a maroon gown adorned with a delicate white shawl, highlighting her soft, feminine charm. The portrait is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and serves as a testament to Inman's mastery of miniature portraiture.
