Mrs. Samuel Johnston
Description
Portrait of Elizabeth North Johnston as an older woman with gray hair worn under a white bonnet. She wears a white fichu, an ornate cape, and a white waist ribbon over a yellow dress with white lace cuffs at the ends of her three-quarter sleeves. She holds a small snuff box or memento in her right hand while her left elbow rests on a table. A book is laid open face-down on the table. A red drape is pulled back to reveal a brown-gray background.
