American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a young girl, seated with her torso facing the viewer. She has fair skin, light blue eyes, thin eyebrows, and slightly rosy cheeks. Her reddish-brown hair is styled neatly with a middle part, and she is wearing a dark blue off-the-shoulder dress with decorative trim. She is holding a small flower with green leaves in her hand. The background is a solid dark color.
