Figurehead: "Jenny Lind"

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an artistic rendering of a woman's bust, including her head, shoulders, and upper torso. The woman is facing slightly to the right with her head turned forward. She has a serene expression, defined eyes, a slightly upturned nose, and neutral lips. Her hair is styled in long curls that frame her face and extend past her shoulders. She is dressed in a dark bodice with intricate patterns, a gold brooch, and a teal skirt. The background is plain and cream-colored, emphasizing the figure. No jewelry or additional objects are visible.
