Description
This hand-colored print, likely a stipple engraving or lithograph, depicts Miss Louisa Murray after the original portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence. The composition features a young girl in Regency-style clothing, including a white dress with a red waist sash and a flower-accented bonnet, walking through a park or garden while holding an assortment of wildflowers in her skirt hem. There is faint, illegible text along the bottom margin of the print. The work is set within a heavy, multi-tiered wooden frame featuring foliate-carved outer molding and a gold-toned inner slip. The back of the frame is sealed with a solid wood panel and an older wire hanging system.
