The artwork titled “Portrait Stefanie Adams, wife of the painter” was created by artist John Quincy Adams in 1912. This oil painting on canvas belongs to the Realism movement and measures 175 x 141 cm. It is a portrait genre artwork featuring the artist’s wife, Stefanie Adams.
The artwork depicts a seated woman, likely Stefanie Adams, dressed elegantly in flowing attire. She is seated in a sturdy wooden chair, and her body posture exudes a contemplative demeanor. Her head rests lightly upon her right hand, with her gaze directed slightly to the right, suggesting deep thought or reflection. She is adorned in a long gown, complemented by a wide-brimmed hat, and her poised, composed expression contributes to the overall sense of grace and tranquility within the composition. The background is subtly textured, allowing the figure to remain the focal point of the piece, encapsulating the Realism movement’s attention to detail and lifelike representation.
