    In an oval format favored by portrait painters, a smiling young girl faces us in all her beauty – her sparkling eyes, her dimpled chin, her English-style hairstyle reminiscent of Victorian fashion, and her off-the-shoulder neckline contrast with her unadorned black dress – (clearly a mourning dress required for several years after the death of a loved one) – all of which attests to a young woman from the best society – in the background, a tiny church steeple situates the portrait outdoors – the anonymous painter possessed a perfect mastery of modeling skin and face – he also excels in rendering the English curls that frame the young woman's face exquisitely, making this portrait, despite the mourning, a hymn to life – a very beautiful ornate Louis XV-style gilt stucco frame
