Charlotte Corday

Pierre-Michel Alix after Jean-François Garnerey

National Gallery of Art

The woman in the portrait is shown facing forward with delicate features, fair complexion, rosy cheeks, light blue eyes, and brown hair partially covered by a white bonnet. She is wearing a white blouse and a deep red shawl draped over her shoulders, with a soft, muted gradient background within an oval frame against a plain off-white backdrop.
