Note du spécialiste

Being an exhibition piece, the present work is larger than many of Brown's work from the period and is probably the painting described by the Art Journal as a scene of a little girl in sunlight that "bathes part of her exquisitely modeled form in a halo of glory." ("Art in Chicago," Art Journal, vol. 2, January 1869, p. 44)
