Pocahontas

after Simon van de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image consists of a bust-length portrait of a person within an oval frame. The individual is seated facing forward, with an upright posture and their head slightly tilted to the left. The person has delicate features, dark hair covered by a tall hat, and is dressed in elaborate clothing. They appear to be holding a small bouquet of flowers in one hand, with the other hand resting below. The oval frame surrounding them contains inscriptions. The background is plain with a subtle textured pattern, and there is text below the portrait explaining the individual's background. The paper shows creases, worn edges, and no other objects are present.
