Three-quarter Length Portrait of a Girl Wearing a Veil, 1800 - 1820
About the object
The young girl is looking at her portraitist with a somewhat combative gaze. She is dressed up for her portrait: wearing a transparent lace veil, her blond hair is twisted into corkscrew curls. Her facial expression suggests that she is tired of posing for the painter for such a seeming eternity.
