Little Girl in White (Queenie Burnett)

Amerikanische Malerei 1904–1911, 1907

A young, pale-skinned girl wearing a white dress stands against a darkened background in this vertical portrait painting. Her body faces our left in profile, and she clasps her hands in front of her pelvis. Her face turns a bit to us, her chin pulled back so she looks at us with large, black eyes from under her brows. She has a delicate nose, pink lips, and a pointed chin. Her cinnamon-brown hair is pulled halfway up, away from her forehead, and falls down over her shoulders. Her dress has a high collar, a loose bodice, and long sleeves. It is cinched at the waist and falls like a bell to just below her knees. She wears black stockings and shoes. The room in which she stands has a brown floor, and the wall behind her is forest green. The portrait is loosely painted so brushstrokes are visible, especially in the girl’s face and dress.
