Early 20th Century Portrait of Woman Illuminated by Moonlight by Everett Shinn
This is a pastel on canvas portrait by Everett Shinn ((1876 - 1953), circa early 20th Century. A softly lit, left-facing profile of a dark-haired woman against a deep green background. Rendered in delicate pastel strokes, her expression is introspective and calm. The subtle modeling of the face and moody tonality are characteristic of Shinn’s intimate portraiture. The composition emphasizes quiet dignity and is consistent with Shinn’s early 20th-century portraits of women. Everett Shinn was married to the artist Florence Scovel Shinn 1869-1940.
