Rendered in oil on canvas, this finely executed portrait pays homage to the iconic painting by John Singleton Copley, echoing his mastery of light, texture, and psychological depth. Depicted with quiet dignity, Mrs. Seymour Fort is seated in a richly upholstered chair, her hands delicately at work with a piece of lace. The composition draws on Copley's tradition of capturing both social stature and intimate realism, emphasizing the sitter's expressive face, refined dress, and graceful posture. Housed in a period-style gilt frame, this portrait stands as both a respectful reinterpretation of colonial portraiture and a testament to the enduring influence of Copley's work. Ideal for collectors of early American-style paintings and historic portraiture.
