FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

Although this painting is signed at the lower left corner, we know very little about the artist, de Spindt. The female subject is likely Swiss, as her clothing and flat-brimmed hat, with its peach-colored ribbon, match costumes worn by peasants in Switzerland during the early 19th century.
