Gwyneth King

National Gallery of Art

The image features a person in a full standing position. The person is holding an object in their right hand. The person's facial features and hair are sketched in pencil, with the face mostly unoutlined and the hairstyle depicted in a loose, high fashion typical of historical styles. The person is wearing a richly colored gown with a vibrant pattern featuring floral or ornate designs in shades of teal, pink, and green. The dress is fitted at the bodice and has long sleeves ending in lace cuffs, with a full and voluminous skirt. There is no visible jewelry worn. The background of the artwork is a plain, light color.
