The White Girl

Description

Unknown, although, given the title, it is assumed it was a girl or young woman dressed in white.

Sitter

Unknown. It is highly unlikely that it was a study of Joanna Hiffernan (b. ca 1843-d.1886) related to any of the 'White' portraits of her, such as Symphony in White, No. 1: The White Girl [YMSM 038] or Symphony in White, No. 2: The Little White Girl [YMSM 052].
