"Portrait of a Woman Holding a Book" is a notable work by the American folk artist John Brewster Jr., who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Brewster, born in 1766 in Hampton, Connecticut, is recognized for his distinctive style and contributions to early American portraiture, particularly within the context of the folk art tradition. His works are characterized by their simplicity, directness, and often, a profound sense of intimacy.

This particular portrait exemplifies Brewster's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with minimalistic yet expressive detail. The woman in the painting is depicted with a serene and contemplative expression, holding a book, which suggests a sense of literacy and intellectual engagement. The book, a common motif in portraiture, often symbolizes knowledge, education, and the subject's personal interests or social status.

Brewster's technique involves a delicate balance of color and light, with a focus on the sitter's face and hands, which are rendered with meticulous care. The background is typically plain, directing the viewer's attention entirely to the subject. This approach is consistent with Brewster's broader oeuvre, where he often employed a restrained palette and avoided elaborate backgrounds, thereby emphasizing the individuality and inner life of his sitters.

John Brewster Jr. was also notable for being a deaf artist, which influenced his perception and artistic expression. His ability to convey emotion and character through visual means alone is particularly remarkable given his lack of access to auditory communication. "Portrait of a Woman Holding a Book" is a testament to Brewster's unique vision and his contribution to the American folk art tradition. The painting not only reflects the personal attributes of the sitter but also offers insights into the cultural and social milieu of early America.
