Miss Charlotte Papendick as a Child is a 1794 oil by John Hoppner, a Rococo painting work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This portrait features a young girl with curly blonde hair, adorned with a large bow and a white dress. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, and she gazes directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a soft, muted color. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal, elegant setting. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, drawing attention to the girl's gentle expression. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of John Hoppner's work, an English artist known for his portraits of children and adults.
