Girl with a Marmot

The artwork Girl with a Marmot is a painting created in 1780. It is currently housed at the Portland Art Museum. The painting, done by an unknown artist, measures 0.28 meters in width and 0.38 meters in height.

The painting showcases a young woman positioned prominently against a dark background. She is adorned with a white bonnet framing her face and a white garment beneath a darker bodice. Her gaze meets the viewer's directly, her expression a mix of gentle shyness and quiet confidence. While the title mentions a marmot, it's not visible in this particular image. The girl holds what appears to be a wooden box, possibly the marmot's dwelling, hinting at the creature's presence just outside the frame.
