EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour on ivory captures the elegance and grace of Mrs. Stephen Van Rensselaer III, also known as Cornelia Paterson, in the early 19th century. Created by renowned artist Robert Fulton, this portrait showcases the beauty and fashion of a prominent American woman during that era. Mrs. Van Rensselaer is depicted wearing an Empire gown, which was fashionable at the time with its high waistline and flowing silhouette. Her dress is adorned with delicate details and she exudes confidence in her regal posture. The artist has paid meticulous attention to every aspect of her appearance – from her intricately styled hair decorated with a tiara to her stunning pearl necklace that adds a touch of sophistication. The painting reflects both the artistic skill of Robert Fulton and his ability to capture not only physical likeness but also the personality and essence of his subjects. Mrs. Van Rensselaer's gaze seems to hold secrets untold, inviting viewers into her world. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this masterpiece serves as a testament to America's rich heritage and cultural history. It allows us to glimpse into the lives of influential women like Mrs. Van Rensselaer who played significant roles in shaping society during this transformative period. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded of the timeless allure found within historical portraits such as these – capturing moments frozen forever through brushstrokes on canvas or in this case, watercolour on ivory - preserving their stories
