Portrait of a Lady

Thomas Sully (American, 1783-1872) (Artist)
ca. 1830
watercolor on white paper
(18th and 19th Centuries )

Sully often created small-scale watercolors, either related to larger paintings in oil or as exercises in their own right. From the woman's costume this work can be dated to ca. 1830.
