DescriptionA young woman sits in a chair on a balcony before an open window. Her elbow rests on a table covered with a tablecloth. She wears a dress, a shawl, and flowers, probably roses, in her hair. The balcony has an iron railing, and the window has Venetian blinds. A paneled door or shutter is at the left, with patterned drapery nearby. A small bird is in a birdcage at the upper left. Bushes and vines are in the foreground.

NotesTitle Note: An anonymous poem, "Number One," appeared in The Mirror of Literature, Amusement and Instruction, Vol. XIV No. 402 Supplement (1829). The third stanza is the same as the first stanza reproduced here; the second stanza of the poem on the Kellogg print is a variation on a later stanza. An intermediate source is probable.
