Anna Maria Cumpston

Charles Peale Polk

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a young girl in a full-length portrait. She is standing with her body slightly angled to the left and her left arm resting on a stone pedestal. The girl has light skin, straight brown hair with bangs, dark eyes, and a calm expression on her face. She wears a light pink dress with puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice, and a full skirt with lace details. A pink sash is tied around her waist, and she wears red shoes. She holds a pink rose in her right hand. The background features a lush green garden with dense foliage and a partly cloudy blue sky. The stone pedestal beside her appears to have a vase holding roses.
