MANNER OF GILBERT CHARLES STUART
Massachusetts, 19th Century
Bust portrait of a finely dressed woman, likely Elisabeth Bender Greenough. Unsigned. Bears a striking resemblance to Stuart's 1805 portrait of Greenough, which is currently in the collection of the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine.
Oil on canvas, 30" x 25". Framed 35" x 31".

Relined. UV examination reveals areas of paint restoration, mostly in thin lines to address craquelure. One scratch to the canvas to the right of the sitter.
