About the piece
Attributed to the colonial American painter Joseph Badger, this mid-18th-century portrait depicts a young girl with a soft, earnest expression. Dressed in a shimmering pink silk gown with delicate lace trim and a formal cap, she holds a basket of flowers, a traditional motif of youth and innocence. The painterly execution and warm, muted tones reflect the refined aesthetic of the period.
