Portrait of a Girl

Tyler & Co.

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young girl standing upright. She has dark, straight hair with a middle part, falling on her shoulders. She wears a light pink off-the-shoulder dress with multiple tiers and visible underskirt. She accessorizes with a gold-colored necklace, earrings, bracelets, and holds a decorative fan in her hands. Next to her is an ornate chair and a table with a patterned cloth. The background is plain and dark, and the image is framed with intricate gilded details.
