Additional Details:
A young child, possibly a girl, with blonde curly hair and a red Phrygian cap, is depicted in a full-length portrait. The child wears a white flowing gown and holds an open songbook with musical notation. Behind the child, a banner displays lyrics from 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee': 'My Country 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing'. The child stands on a bed of white stars, with more stars scattered across a blue and gold background. The overall imagery evokes patriotism and music.
