Seilerjung (Young Rope Seller)

Carl Conti, after Johann Christian Brand

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright. They have a rounded face with prominent cheeks and a smile, mid-length hair tucked under a round, flat hat. They are wearing a knee-length coat with visible buttons, stockings, and buckled shoes. A thick, long coil of rope is wrapped around their shoulders and waist. The background includes a simple shaded wall on the left and an empty space to the right with rough, textured shading on the ground.
