A Daughter of the Marshland

Peter Henry Emerson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body and face of a person facing the camera. The person is wearing an ornate hat with large feathers and fabric details, and a dark, textured fabric that covers their shoulders and chest. Their facial features include a subtle smile, dark eyes, and eyebrows. The background is a plain, blurred space, giving the photograph an aged, sepia-toned appearance.
