The painting, measuring 143.5x119 cm when framed and 126.6x100.6 cm unframed, currently resides in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Commissioned less than two months before Anna Dummer Powell's passing at the age of 80, this portrait serves as a poignant tribute to her life and an enduring heirloom for future generations. Described by her granddaughter as a woman of strong Presbyterian faith and sober conviction, Powell's character shines through in this portrayal. The painting has been cherished within the family for generations until it was ultimately gifted to the museum by Ellery Sedgwick Jr. , in loving memory of Mabel Cabot Sedgwick. In this remarkable artwork, we see Anna Dummer Powell seated gracefully in an armchair adorned with intricate details.

The three-quarter length composition captures both her wisdom and vulnerability as an elderly woman. Copley skillfully brings out the essence of Anna Dummer Powell's personality through his meticulous brushwork and attention to detail. This piece not only represents an individual but also encapsulates the spirit of eighteenth-century America.
