Dorothea is a 1823 oil by John Quidor, a american_folk_art work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a young woman with long blonde hair, sitting on a rock by a stream. She is wearing a red shirt and brown pants, and has her feet bare. She is looking down at her hair, which she is brushing with a comb. The background is a rocky cliff with trees and bushes. The woman's expression is calm and serene, and the overall atmosphere of the painting is peaceful. The use of warm colors, such as the red of her shirt and the brown of the rocks, adds to the sense of warmth and comfort. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist John Quidor.
