Visual Summary

Brief Description

Woman in a white shawl, gold jewelry, and ornate headpiece, against a cloudy background

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a dark-skinned woman, positioned slightly to the right of the center, looking towards the upper right. Her dark hair is pulled back, adorned with a light-colored headpiece featuring three circular, decorative elements across the top of her head. She has dark eyes, a small nose, and full lips. Her ears are decorated with gold-colored earrings, each composed of multiple small, flat discs. Around her neck are three strands of gold-colored beads, and a longer necklace hangs lower, featuring a light pink, triangular pendant. She wears a white garment with a ruffled collar, covered by a voluminous white shawl draped over her shoulders and arms. A hint of a reddish-pink garment is visible beneath the shawl on her right side. On her right hand, which rests near the bottom right corner, she wears a ring with a light pink oval-shaped stone. The background is a blue sky with soft white and gray clouds. In the upper right corner, light-colored text reads: "Joanna de Silva, a native of Bengal, the faithful and affectionate Nurse of the Children of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Desare. Painted by Will Wood 1792."
