Miss Daggett of New Haven, Connecticut (possibly Amelia Martha)

Amerikanische Malerei 1790–1801, c. 1795

The artwork depicts a young woman shown from the waist up, seated in a chair. She has long brown hair that falls in loose curls over her shoulders. Her facial features are delicate, with a fair complexion. She is wearing a light blue dress with puffed sleeves, adorned with lace and blue ribbons. A blue sash with a cameo accentuates her waist. She holds a small branch of pink roses in her right hand. Behind her, a window reveals a landscape with a blue sky and clouds, partially covered by a red curtain with a gold trim.
