The child is portrayed with great sensitivity, with particular attention given to the delicate facial features and gentle expression. The carefully observed details of the clothing, the subtle modelling of the face and the restrained use of colour give the portrait a quiet and intimate character.
The soft handling of light brings the child naturally forward from the darker background, while the refined brushwork and balanced composition reflect the tradition of English portrait painting. Presented in a gilt frame.
