Cora Livingston

Amerikanische Malerei 1827–1835, c. 1833

The image depicts the upper body of a woman seated in a red chair against a warm brown backdrop. She is holding a guitar across her lap. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo with curls and waves framing her face. She has a neutral expression and fair skin with a rosy complexion. She wears a burgundy velvet dress with a wide neckline, revealing her shoulders. The dress's fabric gathers slightly near the neckline. Her hands are resting on the guitar's body and neck, suggesting a relaxed posture. There is no visible jewelry, and the background features a textured drapery.
