“Eunice Dennie Burr” is an artwork created by John Singleton Copley between 1758 and 1760. This oil on canvas painting measures 127 x 101.6 centimeters and is rendered in the Neoclassicism art movement. It is a portrait that is currently housed in the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
The artwork depicts a woman dressed in an elaborate dress, characterized by its rich, pink fabric and ornate lace details. She is posed with a formal grace, one arm resting on a piece of furniture draped with a similarly luxurious fabric. The dark background contrasts sharply with her pale skin and the bright dress, drawing focus to her serene, yet slightly aloof expression. The painting demonstrates Copley’s skill in capturing the intricate details of the clothing and the refined elegance of the subject.
