Seated Girl

William Morris Hunt

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side view portrait of a woman's upper body. She is seated with her body slightly turned away from the viewer and her head facing to the left side of the frame. Her facial features are in shadow, and her hair is tied back. She is dressed in dark clothing. There are no visible jewelry or objects in her hands. The background is shadowy with a dark, textured appearance, suggesting an indoor setting or studio with subdued lighting. The overall use of dark tones creates a moody scene.
