"Portrait of Mariette Benedict Cotton" is a notable work by the American painter Thomas Wilmer Dewing (1851–1938), an artist renowned for his tonalist and impressionist works, particularly those depicting the leisurely activities of women in genteel settings. This painting, created in 1892, is a fine example of Dewing's portraiture, showcasing his delicate and refined approach to capturing the essence of his subjects.

The portrait features Mariette Benedict Cotton, who was a figure of social prominence during the late 19th century. In this work, Dewing's subject is rendered with a soft, ethereal quality that is characteristic of his style. The painting is composed with a muted palette and a focus on the graceful pose and contemplative expression of Mrs. Cotton, which reflects the artist's interest in aestheticism and the beautiful rather than the narrative or the moralistic.

Dewing's technique in this portrait, with its subtle gradations of tone and emphasis on atmosphere, is indicative of his broader oeuvre, which often blurred the lines between realism and the more evocative, mood-driven aims of tonalism. The painting is also a reflection of the Gilded Age in America, a period when art was heavily influenced by the wealth and opulence of the time, and portraits of high society figures were in demand.

"Portrait of Mariette Benedict Cotton" is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's collection, which holds a significant number of Dewing's works. The painting is not only an important piece within Dewing's body of work but also serves as a valuable cultural artifact that offers insight into the social dynamics and artistic preferences of the late 19th-century American elite.
