About the piece
Painted in 1766 by Per Krafft the Elder, this portrait captures a young girl in a moment of quiet focus as she holds a bullfinch in a cage. The artist’s masterful use of light illuminates her soft features and the intricate lace of her pink-ribboned bonnet, creating a warm and elegant scene characteristic of the period.
