Portrait of a Woman Preaching

William M. Phipps

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing upright. She is facing slightly to the right with her right hand raised and her left hand holding an open book. Her facial features are visible, and her hair is styled close to her head. She is dressed in a long, dark, full-sleeved gown with a high collar and a crescent-shaped brooch at her waist. The background features an ornately decorated wall with patterns and designs, and the floor is covered with a decorative rug.
