Though not possessing original or strong characteristics,he developed to a refined point—often at the sacrifice of strength—the qualities of Gilbert Stuart and other eighteenth centurypainters here and In England. This portrait demonstrates hisability to suggest character. He was a refined colourist, adiscriminating and sensitive painter. The picture is rich intone and well composed. The red shawl is effectively intro-duced to cover partialh the black bodice, and all the drapery,particularh the lace cap, is painted with much delicacy. Oil on canvas, 25;2 inches by 30^^ inchesBequest of Stephen Salisbury III. 109</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>PORTRAIT OF MISS MARGARET SIDDONS THOMAS SULLY I 10 THOMAS SULLY American, 1783-1872PORTRAl r OF MISS MARC^VRKT SIDDONS Thomas Sulh was born in Horncastlc, England, but whenonh nine years of age he came to America. The Portrait of MissMargaret Siddons shows a spirited )oung woman with curls ofgolden brown. The colour of the hair finds an echo in the richgold of the chair upon which the left arm rests. Tliere is aslightly arrogant tilt to the head and considerable animationin the face. On the left of the picture is a column, partly hiddenby a curtain, and the suggestion of a brilliant sunset. Thecolour is highly keyed for this period and phase of portraiture.The figure in white against the background of varying tonesof red makes an effective design. The picture follows withsuccess the conventional ideas of the eighteenth century portraitpainters in technique, colour, and composition.
