A Young English Beauty

Thomas Rowlandson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated in a slightly turned posture. She has dark, loosely curled hair peeking out from under a bonnet with a large bow. She is wearing a light-colored dress and her left arm is visible, with her hand resting on her lap. The background has a wash of gray tones resembling foliage. The style is delicate and impressionistic.
