Mary Cuthbert (Mrs. James Cuthbert) (?)

Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, vers 1765

The image shows a woman seated from the waist up. She has her left hand raised to touch her face gently, while her right hand rests on a book in her lap. Her facial features are carefully painted with a fair complexion, rosy cheeks, and a thoughtful expression. She has light-colored eyes and hair, mostly covered by a white cap tied with a light blue ribbon under her chin. She wears a dress with a white collar and blue fabric, detailed with pleats and folds. A pearl necklace is around her neck. The background transitions from warm brown tones to an outdoor view with clouds and foliage.
