Portrait of a Woman

Thomas Parker Varley

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman standing upright, with one hand resting on a nearby pedestal. She has a calm expression, well-defined facial features, and neatly styled hair. She is wearing a full-skirted dress with a plaid pattern and a fitted bodice. Around her are decorative elements, including draped greenery. The background is neutral with subtle texture.
