Martha

Amerikanische Volkskunst, ca. 1835

The image shows a portrait of a woman depicted from the waist up. She is seated and facing forward. Her facial features are characterized by a fair complexion, and her hair is dark brown, parted in the middle and pulled back neatly. She is wearing an olive green dress with puffed sleeves and detailed lace trim across the dress. The dress has a high neckline with a small square brooch at the collar. She holds a musical instrument with the name "MARTHA" emblazoned on it. The background features a red curtain with books stacked to one side and a landscape visible through an opening, showing a body of water flanked by trees and hills.
