Charles Willson Peale, American, 1741-1827 – Portrait of Mrs. John B. Bayard Philadelphia Museum of Art

The picture has something of this: woman, wear, seat, people, furniture, sit, portrait, book bindings, jewelry, veil, royalty, sitting.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman sitting in a chair with a book in her lap and a red drape on the back of her head.
