About the piece

Dating to approximately 1840, this American folk portrait captures the naive charm of the era with its flattened perspective and bold color blocks. The young girl is depicted in a patterned blue gown and vibrant red skirt, holding a toy rooster that adds a touch of childhood whimsy to the formal composition.
