Title	The Cottage Girl.
Creator	Hale, Nancy
Place	Litchfield (Conn.)
Topic	School children
Genre	Needlework Artifacts
Theme	Lifestyle Infrastructure
Description	Needlework picture shows a young woman in an ankle-length dress holding long wooden branches in her left hand and a basket of red berries in her right. A tree is in the left background. A stream with a cottage on the far bank is in the right background. The sky in the background, as well as the girl's face, neck, arms, legs and feet, are hand-painted directly onto the ground. The landscape is set inside an oval with a jagged border. Above the oval is a swagged vine with roses and leaves. Below the oval are two cornucopias separated by a hand painted signature of "NANCY HALE". The picture has a reverse-painted mat with the title "THE COTTAGE GIRL" and is in a gilt wood frame.
Notes	Nancy Hale (1785-1808) was the youngest of eleven children of Mary and Gideon Hale of Glastonbury. She was a pupil at Sarah Pierce's school in Litchfield. Nancy based her design on an aquatint print published in London in 1799 and probably inspired by the poem "Autumn" by James Thomson.
