Portrait of a Young Lady

This delightful painting came to us from a local collection but with no history or attribution. We feel somewhat confident that she is American and are inclined to believe that she may be Southern. Wherever she is from she is certainly a charming young lady, elegantly dressed and painted by a skilled portraitist. The oil on canvas has been laid down on board and is in a very good period gilt frame.

The image itself is 17 inches in diameter.
