Portrait of a Little Girl Picking Grapes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a young girl in a pink dress. The girl has curly blonde hair. She wears a pink dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline and short puffy sleeves. Underneath the dress, she wears white pants with lace trim at the bottom and tan shoes. A necklace with a small pendant is around her neck. In her left hand, she holds a bunch of grapes, and in her right hand, she holds a vine or branch. To her right, a basket sits on the ground filled with fruit, and a few fruits are scattered nearby on the grass. On the right side of the painting, a fallen hat lies on the ground with a white ribbon. The background shows a tree to the left of the girl and another to the right. Beyond them, a landscape with green grass, a body of water, and a blue sky with clouds can be seen. The painting is titled "Portrait of a Little Girl Picking Grapes".
