Charming watercolor portrait ca. 1810-1815 of a young girl in a bucolic setting. Set in what was likely the family farm, Charlotte Moore is standing under what appears to be grape vines, holding a spray of flowers. Perhaps painted by an intinerant artist, this folky watercolor captures Charlotte's image at the time and place of her youth. Biographical information written in pencil on the back of the piece. Minor foxing. Dimensions: sight 4.25" x 7"; frame 5.75" x 8.75".
