John Copley- Elizabeth Greenleaf

In this painting I thought that the artist used many different shapes and lines to create the portrait. He also used some very contrasting colors to make the image stand out against the background. I think the principle that he used in this painting was emphasis, emphasizing the girl in the picture.
I think it was probably a portrait created of someone important to him. It could be his daughter or someone else that was important in his life. I personally liked this painting because I really like the "vintage/Victorian" works of art and I would like to have a painting like this in my house.
