Description: | The dress worn by the young girl allows to date this painting from approximately 1800-1810, as the Empire-line dress was in fashion at the time, before clothing became more ample during the Romantic period. Her identity is unknown, but she looks like a rather simple girl, possibly from the country, as indicated by her head scarf and the flowers on her lap. The meaning of the roses, symbols of the offerings of a love which is pure, may also have its importance, underlining the innocence of the young girl. | Subjects: | portrait (unidentified girl) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8953... | Go to resource |
