About this work

This painting shows a child holding a peacock feather up to their face. The feather’s bright green and blue colors stand out against the soft, faded background. The child’s hat has a blue ribbon tied under their chin, and their clothes look worn but cozy. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving it a gentle, unfinished feel. The feather’s details are sharp, while the rest of the painting stays simple and warm. Look up Louisa Anne, Marchioness of Waterford next to see more of her work.
