CMA. Catalogue of the Severance and Greta Millikin Collection (1990), 94, no. 213, 36 (repr.).

A vertically oriented oil portrait depicts a young girl with light skin from the shoulders up, facing our right. She has large blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and short blond hair. She wears a deep blue garment over a white collar. The background is dark and mottled with visible brushwork and a network of fine surface lines. Light from our left illuminates her face, highlighting her youthful features against the surrounding shadows.

The sitter's mother, Mme J.-B. Pierret, until at least 1885. Presumably inherited by the sitter's sister Anne-Claire Pierret (Mme C. F. Vila). Mme E. Carlier (née Vila), the sitter's niece, who gave it to Mme Nicour, her stepdaughter (d. 1925). By her request to Mme Madeleine Oberthur (née Jouanneau), great-grandniece of the sitter, Rennes, until 1958. Mrs. Walter Feilchenfeldt, Zurich. Mr. and Mrs. Severance A. Millikin, Cleveland, 1958. Given to the CMA in 1964.
