Portrait of a Woman

Jeremiah Gurney

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person reclining on a decorative ledge, with one leg bent and the other extended. The individual leans back, supported by their left arm, while the right arm rests on the ledge. The person has short, curly hair styled away from the face and delicate facial features. They wear a polka-dot outfit with white leggings and ankle boots, consisting of a matching vest and skirt, paired with a light-colored blouse and a dark bow tie at the neckline. The surroundings include an intricately carved balustrade and a panel with floral motifs, with a plain and muted background.
