Description
Portrait of a teenager wearing an extravagant straw hat by American realist painter William Sidney Mount (1807-1868) dating from 1834. There is an intriguingly androgynous quality to this painting; the trousers and braces suggest the subject is a boy, but the feminine features and flouncy, outrageously tall straw hat suggest otherwise, likewise the prominently featured flowering plants, which invariably signify femininity.
