Mrs. Hugh Morgan and Her Daughter is a 1771 oil by Angelica Kauffmann, a Rococo painting work, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
In the painting, a woman and a young girl sit together in a serene outdoor setting. The woman, dressed in a vibrant red gown with a white shawl draped over her shoulder, gently places her hand on the girl's arm. The girl, wearing a blue dress with a pink sash, holds a basket of flowers and looks up at the woman with a gentle expression. A small dog lies at their feet, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The woman's attire and the girl's innocent demeanor evoke a sense of warmth and intimacy. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of balance and harmony, drawing the viewer's eye to the tender moment between the two figures.
