Girl with Kitten

Amerikanische Malerei 1835–1840, vers 1836/1838

The image shows a full-body portrait of a young child standing indoors. The child faces forward with a neutral expression, looking directly at the viewer. They have neatly styled brown hair parted in the middle. The child wears a white dress with lace detailing at the collar and puffed short sleeves, over layered pantaloons. The dress has intricate patterns along the hem. They hold a bunch of flowers in their left hand and a red ribbon in their right hand, which trails down to the floor. A small cat playfully touches the end of the ribbon near the child's feet. The child wears white socks and black shoes. The background consists of a green-tinted wall and wooden floor, with a window on the left showing a glimpse of the sky with foliage and a warm sunset hue.
