Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, c. 1730

This image is a portrait of a person from the waist up. The individual is facing forward, slightly turned to their left, with their right hand placed on their chest. They have wavy, dark brown hair that falls just below their shoulders, slightly arched eyebrows, dark eyes, a straight nose, and a subtle smile. The person wears a white shirt with a high collar and an orange outer garment draped over their shoulder. The background is a simple, muted brown that darkens towards the edges, framing the person in an oval vignette effect.
