Lady Bug

Frederick W. Freer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a young girl with long, light hair seated and turned slightly to the side. She has her eyes closed and appears serene. She is wearing a laced, high-collared garment with puffed sleeves and an intricate lace collar underneath. In her hand, she holds a thin stem with a feathery tip. The background is a dark, shadowy expanse.
