  • Description:Oval of a young girl, aged approximately 5, with light brown wavy hair parted in the middle. Her eyes are large and light-colored. In this near waist-length portrait the treatment suggests that the child is nude, for a swirling cloud of color covers her torso from the shoulders down and no article of clothing can be seen.
  • Notes:Subject (1864-1950) was the daughter of Dr. Robert N. Williams and Mary Matilda (Morgan) Williams. She married William Porter Morgan, Sr.
