Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body illustration of a young girl in two positions. In the forefront, she stands upright, wearing a white dress with lace detailing at the hem and sleeves. She has blonde hair with blue ribbons, large blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and wears blue shoes. She holds a large decorative key and wears a blue brooch. In the background, a smaller version of the girl wears a brown coat over the dress, accompanied by a matching hat with feather accents, and the same style of blue shoes. The background is plain cream-colored.
