The Spanish Girl in Reverie

Washington Allston

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Spanish Girl in Reverie by Washington Allston: A woman with dark hair wears a long white dress and a long-sleeved burgundy velvet jacket with a V-shaped neckline. The woman appears to be seated on a low platform; her right leg and foot are visible below her dress. The woman's body faces right; her head and gaze are angled right and slightly upward. Her right arm extends downward, and her left arm rests on the platform behind her. The background shows trees, mountains, and a blue sky with clouds.
