Portrait of a Woman

James McClees

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated from the waist up. She is sitting upright with one arm on an upholstered chair with a floral design. Her hair is styled in waves, framing her face. She has a calm expression and is wearing a dark dress with lace details, a white collar and cuffs, and a cameo. The background is plain, and the image is framed in gold with intricate detailing.
