Portrait of a Girl c. 18th century

This anonymous 18th-century portrait depicts a young woman in an oval format, a popular style for portraits of the period. Her elaborate, curly hair is partially covered by a fabric band, and she is dressed in a simple garment with a lace trim. The artist, who remains unidentified, has used delicate strokes to create a realistic rendering of her features, including her expressive eyes and soft smile, capturing the individual character of the sitter.
