Portrait of Alice Davison

The artwork Portrait of Alice Davison is a painting created by Cecilia Beaux in 1909. The painting is 0.864 meters in width and 1.688 meters in height.

The painting depicts a young girl, Alice Davison, standing outdoors in a winter setting. She is wearing a long black coat, a matching hat, and brown boots. She holds the leash of a small brown and black dog, possibly a Pekingese, who stands beside her. The girl's expression is serious, almost melancholic, and her gaze is directed slightly to the right of the viewer.

The background of the painting is a snowy landscape with trees and the suggestion of buildings in the distance. The colors are muted, with a predominance of browns, grays, and whites, which contributes to the somber mood of the piece. The girl and her dog are the focal point of the composition, and their dark clothing contrasts sharply with the snow-covered ground.
