EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Mrs. Henry Hill (Anna Barrett), c. 1765/70" is a stunning example of the artistry of John Singleton Copley. The woman depicted in this image exudes elegance and grace, showcasing the fashion trends of the late 18th century in America. Dressed in an exquisite embroidered gown with a lace-trimmed neckline, Mrs. Henry Hill radiates sophistication. Her choice of accessories further enhances her beauty; she adorns herself with a pearl choker that delicately rests against her decolletage, adding a touch of opulence to her ensemble. Artificial flowers are gracefully arranged in her hair, accentuating her hairstyle and lending a whimsical charm to the composition. Copley's attention to detail is evident throughout this pastel on paper mounted on linen artwork. Every brushstroke captures the intricate embroidery on Mrs. Hill's dress and brings out the subtle shades and hues that make up her complexion. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness not only Mrs. Henry Hill's individuality but also gain insight into the fashion sensibilities prevalent during this period in American history. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago as part of their Arts of Americas collection, Copley's masterpiece serves as a testament to his skillful portrayal of women from different walks of life during colonial times in America.
