Catherine Yates, the wife of a New York merchant, looks sideways at the viewer as she sews, in a white satin dress and an elaborate white cap. Stuart painted her soon after his return to America in 1793, and the shrewd, lively face and brilliant whites make it one of his best portraits. It is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
