George Peter Alexander Healy

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a woman in a side profile position, with delicate facial features, fair skin, rosy cheeks, and lips. She has dark, wavy hair styled away from her face, wearing a high-collared black dress with a white ruffled trim. Two roses, one yellow and one pink, are pinned to her chest. The background is muted green with part of a red chair visible behind her. The artist's signature and the year "1876" are inscribed in the top left corner.
