Description |
This painting by John George Brown depicts by a young girl seated on a grassy hillside, the wind blowing through her hair, on a bright, cloudy day. Brown's genre paintings generally depict the seemingly mundane lives of street children. This work is unusual for Brown, primarily because the subject is out of an urban working environment, but also because the subject is female. |
