Slave Girl Painting
I am looking for a painting I saw in a textbook about 15 years ago when I was in middle school. It was of a slave girl I believe. She was wearing a nuetral colored dress of some kind, very plain. She is glancing in a slightly upward direction and the sun or some kind of light is glistening on her face. The entire background is an orange gradient from bottom to top. That is all I can remember. I am trying to find the name of this painting. Thanks!

Re: Slave Girl Painting
Thanks for trying, but no that isn't it. I am pretty sure the painitng is American and is from the era of american slavery.
Thanks for your help! |

Eirene,
Thank you for trying, but yet again I have struck out. The painting is void of abjects. It is just an orange gradient. Calling it a Slave Girl Painting may be a bit misleading. It could be just a poor African American girl. I am not sure, but it was definitely a girl, void of objects in the background other than an orange gradient, with a simple dress looking slightly upwards and to her left. Thanks for all your help, Nate |
