Adelina Morton

Peinture afro-américaine du XIXe siècle, vers 1810

This painting shows a young woman seated on a wooden chair, seen from the knees up. Her body is slightly turned to the left, but her head is turned towards us. She has short, curly, blonde hair and a round face with a fair complexion. She has a straight nose, thin eyebrows, and thin pink lips in a neutral expression. She is wearing a white gown with a wide neckline, short sleeves, and blue bows on the shoulders, as well as a brown necklace with a circular golden pendant. In her left hand, she holds a small brown book with green edges, and her other hand rests on a brown table next to her, holding a pink rose. On the same table is a paper with several lines of indistinguishable text on it. The background is dark gray.
