Portrait of a Child
Raphaelle Peale, born Annapolis, MD 1774-died Philadelphia, PA 1825 · ca. 1800
This is thought to be a painting of a child known only as “Miss Borrie.” The artist applied touches of red to the girl’s lips and cheeks in this otherwise subdued painting to emphasize her smiling expression.
