Martha Tennent Rogers (Mrs. David Rogers) and Her Son, probably Samuel Henry Rogers

Amerikanische Malerei 1770–1790, 1788

The artwork portrays a woman and a child positioned closely together. The woman is seated, visible from the waist up, and has a calm expression. She wears a brown dress with a white shawl draped over her shoulders and a lace bonnet adorned with a blue ribbon on her head. Her hair is mostly covered by the bonnet. The child is standing beside her, leaning in with his arm around her shoulders. He has light-colored hair and is wearing a pinkish dress with lace trim and a blue sash tied around his waist. Both figures are set against a dark background with hints of greenery and an open sky to the right. The chair the woman sits on is upholstered in red fabric with gold studs.
