Created by renowned artist Chester Harding in approximately 1827, this oil painting showcases a woman of grace and poise. Dressed in exquisite attire, Mrs. Coolidge exudes sophistication with her choice of clothing and accessories. She wears a bonnet adorned with ostrich feathers that adds a touch of grandeur to her ensemble. A cape made from luxurious ermine fur drapes over her shoulders, further emphasizing her status and taste for opulence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures depicted on Mrs. Coolidge's dress, which appears to be crafted from fine silk or taffeta fabric. The vibrant colors chosen by Harding bring life to the canvas, enhancing the overall allure of his subject.
