Child with Straw Hat

William Matthew Prior

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a young child standing. The child has a light complexion, rosy cheeks, and blonde hair styled in short curls. They are wearing a white dress with blue trim, boots with tied laces, and hold a book in their right hand and a straw hat in their left hand. They wear a red bead necklace and next to them are a cap and a walking stick with tassels. In the background, there is a red curtain at the top, with trees and a building visible on the left side.
