"Portrait of Mrs Harold Wilson" is a distinguished example of portrait art that likely reflects the elegance and social stature of its subject. Painted on canvas using oil paints, it captures a woman associated with the high society of the Gilded Age, an era when the Four Hundred and the "triumvirate" of Mrs. Astor, Mamie Fish, Theresa Fair Oelrichs, and Alva Belmont, played significant roles. The style may exhibit elements of Realism or even evoke Surrealism, but primarily offers a keen and detailed depiction fitting for a society portrait.
