EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Mrs. Decatur Howard Miller (Eliza Credilla Hare)" and painted by Alfred Jacob Miller around 1850, showcases the enchanting figure of Miller's sister-in-law, Eliza Credilla Hare. The painting is a stunning example of American art from the 19th century, showcasing the elegance and grace of the period. Eliza is depicted standing with her back to a large ornate mirror, which reflects her bare neck and shoulders, adding an alluring dimension to the portrait. The mirror also serves to highlight the rich textures of her evening dress, which is adorned with a red velvet cape, featuring a green lining that contrasts beautifully against the deep hue of the velvet. Beside her, on a table, sits a bowl brimming with goldfish, adding a playful touch to the formal setting. The direct gaze of Eliza as she looks over her shoulder at the viewer creates an intimate connection, inviting us into her world. The oval-shaped oil painting, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to Miller's skill as an artist. The use of textiles, from the velvet cape to the delicate fabric of Eliza's dress, adds depth and texture to the artwork. This portrait is a valuable piece of American heritage art, showcasing the fashion trends of the 1850s, and a reminder of the rich artistic legacy of Alfred Jacob Miller. The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of this remarkable work of art.
