Mary Walton Morris

Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, 1749/1752

The artwork is a portrait showing the upper body of a woman positioned facing forward. She has a composed expression with soft facial features and dark brown hair styled in loose curls. She wears a light-colored bonnet with lace trim and a small black ribbon tied around her neck. Her clothing consists of a blue satin dress with lace details at the neckline and cuffs, revealing a glimpse of a white lace undergarment. There are small yellow and white flowers tucked into the front of her dress. The background is a muted brown, which highlights the subject's face and attire.
