Thomas Watson after Sir Joshua Reynolds

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing in a flowing gown, looking forward with a composed expression. She has an elaborate updo and is holding a small object in her left hand and an open book in her right hand. The background features a curtain pulled to the side, revealing trees and clouds on the left, and a sculpted bust and drapery on the right.
