Artist, American, 1812 - 1867

Two figures are depicted outside a building. On the left, a man is standing with one leg crossed over the other, pointing a finger toward the woman on the right. He has shoulder-length curly hair, a hat with a feather or ribbon, and is dressed in 18th-century attire. The woman on the right appears to be stepping or dancing, with one arm raised above her head and the other extended forward. She has wavy hair and is wearing a flowing dress. The background includes a building with open windows, a door, wooden fencing, a tree, and shrubbery. The scene is monochromatic, presented on aged, sepia-toned paper with signs of wear.
