Rick Beerhorst
Brushing Her Hair - Portrait of a Young Woman with Various Objects and Window

circa 2010

About the Item

Early American Portraiture gained a foothold with the middle class, who could now capture personal moments for their private use. This is the basis of Rick Beerhorst’s portrait simply titled “Brushing Her Hair”. The simplicity of the painting is very much like those early American portraits yet Beerhorst has given the girl a grace and beauty that draws in the viewer, with her deep blue eyes and soft supple skin. The overall aesthetic is enhanced with the large antiqued silver frame measuring 27.5 x 23.5 inches.
