Memorial to Nicholas M. S. Catlin

Amerikanische Malerei 1850–1857, vers 1852

The artwork depicts a young child standing on grass, with their full body visible. The child is positioned facing forward, with one hand reaching towards a flower in a pot on a small wooden table and the other holding a small bouquet. The child has short, light-colored hair. They are wearing a bright red dress with white lace trim and blue shoes. A gray cat is seen at their feet, looking up. In the background, there is a body of water, a willow tree, and a white obelisk with an inscription. The sky is light blue with wispy clouds.
