Portrait of a Girl is a 1816 unspecified by John Constable, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a young girl. She has fair skin and light brown hair styled in an updo. Her eyes are cast downward, and she wears a white dress with a ruffled collar. The girl's face is rendered in soft, gentle brushstrokes, with a subtle emphasis on her features. The background of the painting is a muted, earthy tone that complements the subject's complexion. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the portrait. To learn more about this technique, explore the works of John Constable.
