American 18th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a young girl from the waist up, slightly turned to her left, with a calm expression. She has fair skin, rosy cheeks, dark eyes, and dark brown curly hair. She is wearing a pink gown with lace-trimmed sleeves, a ruffled neckline, and a string of pearls around her neck. She is holding a small bird in her right hand. The background is dark and oval-shaped, and the portrait is enclosed in a dark circular border.
