Young Lady with a Fan

Amerikanische Malerei 1720–1765, 1737

The artwork features a young woman shown from the waist up, seated in a slightly turned position. Her facial features have a fair complexion, and she has long, light-colored hair styled with a braid over her shoulder. She wears a dark green dress with lace cuffs and a patterned belt. Her dress reveals a red-striped undergarment at the neckline. In her right hand, she holds a fan. She is adorned with a single earring and a ring on her left hand. To her side is a table with an open book and some jewelry. The background features a view of a landscape with tall trees and a cloudy sky visible through an arched opening, and a small vase with flowers is placed on a balcony ledge. A dark drapery with gold trim partially frames the scene on the right.
