"Mrs. Richard Skinner" is a distinguished portrait painting by the renowned American artist John Singleton Copley, created in 1772. Copley, who is celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, was a leading portraitist in colonial America. This particular work exemplifies his skill in rendering both the physical likeness and the social stature of his sitters.

The subject of the painting, Mrs. Richard Skinner, was born Dorothy Wendell and married Richard Skinner, a prosperous Boston merchant. The portrait is notable for its elegant composition and the luxurious depiction of Mrs. Skinner's attire, which reflects her affluent status. She is portrayed wearing a sumptuous silk dress adorned with intricate lace and a delicate ribbon, indicative of the fashion and wealth of the colonial elite. Her pose is both graceful and poised, conveying a sense of dignity and refinement.

Copley's technique in this painting is exemplary of his mature style, characterized by a keen observation of textures and a sophisticated use of light and shadow to create a lifelike presence. The artist's ability to capture the subtle nuances of fabric, skin tones, and the play of light across different surfaces is evident in the detailed rendering of Mrs. Skinner's dress and the soft glow of her complexion.

"Mrs. Richard Skinner" is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. The painting not only serves as a testament to Copley's mastery as a portraitist but also provides a window into the social and cultural milieu of 18th-century America. Through this portrait, viewers gain insight into the lives of the colonial gentry and the aesthetic values of the period.
