Strangely anonymous title for a girl who looks characterful. Lovely (and unusual) painting. Makes one wish for her as an ancestor so one could hang this on a family wall.

I wondered that. It couldn't have been done as a commission, unless the real title has been lost. I loved her face and unruly hair.
