Mary Cadwalader Rawle

Oval portrait painting of Mary Cadwalader Rawle by William Oliver Stone. The subject, a young woman with fair skin, sits with her chin resting on her hands. She has brown hair curled and pulled back, with a few tendrils framing her face, and wears a blue headband. Her shirt has a relaxed fit with puffy sleeves, and is colored white with purple accents. A gold necklace with a pendant hangs around her neck. The subject sits against a gold-brown background. The oval frame has a thin gold border. The overall color palette is subdued with earth tones. The woman's gaze is directed straight at the viewer. Her facial expression is neutral. The subject's clothing and hairstyle are consistent with 19th century fashion.
