Das Erdbeermädchen

Amerikanische Malerei 1827–1835, um 1830

A young, pale-skinned girl sits on a wooden chair in this vertical portrait painting. Her body is angled to our right so her feet are cut off by the bottom right corner of the canvas. She has round cheeks, green eyes, a dainty mouth, and a cleft chin. A ruffled white bonnet tied around the crown with a carnation-pink bow covers her hair. Her white dress has short, flutter sleeves, a straight neckline across the chest, and a high waist. The gossamer-white skirt falls to her feet and has decorative bands near the hem. A cherry-red sash is tied around her waist and falls over the back of the chair. The girl holds a bunch of red strawberries in one hand and holds one up by her chest with the other. The background is dark bronze brown.
