Lady Wearing Pearls

Amerikanische Volkskunst, vers 1830

This artwork depicts a woman shown from the waist up. She is seated and positioned slightly to the side, with her face turned toward the viewer. Her facial features are detailed. She has dark hair styled in an updo adorned with flowers and a large, decorative ribbon. She wears a brown dress with puffed sleeves, a black belt, and a delicate lace trim at the neckline. A long strand of pearls drapes over her shoulders, and she wears an ornate earring. Her hand rests on a red armchair. The background is a muted landscape with subtle hills under a gray sky.
