The artwork titled “Ann Tyng” was executed by the artist John Singleton Copley in the year 1756. The piece, rendered in oil on canvas, follows the Neoclassicism art movement and measures 127 x 102.24 cm. It falls under the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a poised woman sits elegantly against a serene landscape backdrop. She is donned in a lavish, fair-colored gown accentuated with a delicate lace trim and adorned with dark ribbons. A rich, red drapery cascades over her shoulder, adding a sense of regality and warmth to the image. Her composed visage gazes calmly at the viewer, exuding both grace and confidence. She holds a staff in her right hand, while her left hand rests gently on a small, white dog sitting at her side. The overall composition is meticulously detailed, demonstrating Copley’s remarkable skill in rendering textures and fabrics, and capturing the subject’s dignified presence with precision and subtlety.
