1864
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Minnie Willard is a 1864 unspecified by Archibald Willard, a American Folk Art work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A young girl stands straight ahead, hands clasped in front of her. She wears a brown dress with tiny white dots and black X-shaped patterns near the hem. The dress has short puffed sleeves and a high collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s barefoot, standing on a patch of grass with a few apples nearby. The background shows a dark forest and a distant building by the water, giving a quiet, outdoor feel. The girl’s face is serious, almost still, with soft lighting on her skin. Look up Realism next to see how artists like this one painted everyday life with careful detail.
Archibald MacNeal Willard (August 22, 1836 – October 11, 1918) was an American painter who was born and raised in Bedford, Ohio. His most famous work is "The Spirit of '76".
