Early 19th century watercolor portrait presents a very attractive and fashionable young lady. She is set on a variegated blue background. Her face is delicate - narrow jaw-line, almond shaped eyes, feathered eyebrows, thin nose, and small mouth. Her clothing and hair, the most stylish fashions of the 1795 - 1820 time period, is luxuriously colored. The artist skillfully used shading and shadowing to illustrate the complexity and richness of her hairstyle and clothing.

Courting mirrors were typically given as gifts by suitors to their intended. This mid-18th century courting mirror is a fine example of New England rural craftsmanship.
