Girl with a Bonnet Reclining [verso]

Paul Sandby

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a figure seated comfortably on the floor in a relaxed pose. The person has their full body visible in profile, leaning on their left hand with their right arm on their lap and looking upwards. A brimmed hat partially obscures their face, with minimal facial details sketched. The person's curly hair escapes from under the hat. They wear a dress with a scalloped collar and three-quarter sleeves, spreading around them as they sit. Shoes are visible under the dress hem. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain with faint shading and lines.
