A DRAMATICALLY PAINTED PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN WEARING JEWELRY
#3028
This dramatic painting crosses the border between folk and academic art. The extravagance of the sitter's setting, costume, and jewelry are likewise anomalies. I think the painting is from a coastal NE city or from New York. It is dated 1838, and signed 'P---Platt. It has been strip-lined and has a very minor surface repair.
