Painted by Laura Wheeler Waring in 1930, Girl in Green Cap presents a young Black woman with elegance, confidence, and quiet presence. Her green cap, composed expression, and direct gaze make the portrait feel both deeply personal and unmistakably modern.

Waring was one of the leading Black portrait artists associated with the Harlem Renaissance. At a time when Black people were frequently reduced to stereotypes in American imagery, her portraits presented Black subjects as individuals worthy of beauty, attention, and serious artistic study.

Girl in Green Cap reflects the power of Waring's portraiture: Black identity represented with dignity, style, and humanity, preserving another face from a generation defining Black modern life on its own terms.

Presented as a high quality reproduction on thick matte paper and finished in a .75 inch matte black wood frame with a protective Acrylite front. Lightweight and ready to hang with hardware included.
