Anna de Peyster (?)

Frans van Doornik

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman from the waist up. She is turned slightly to her right, looking straight at the viewer. She has fair skin, round cheeks, and a gentle gaze. Her hair is styled back in soft curls or waves. She is wearing a garment with a pale bodice and a layer of rich blue fabric wrapped around her shoulders. Her right hand is raised, holding the edge of the blue fabric. The background is a smooth, dark, neutral gradient.
