"Portrait of a Young Girl with a Gold Necklace" is a notable work by the American folk artist William Matthew Prior, who was active during the 19th century. Prior, born in Bath, Maine, in 1806, is renowned for his distinctive style that bridges the gap between folk art and more formal portraiture. His works are characterized by their directness, simplicity, and often, a certain naivety that captures the essence of his subjects with an unpretentious charm.

This particular portrait exemplifies Prior's ability to convey the innocence and purity of childhood. The young girl, whose identity remains unknown, is depicted with a serene expression, her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer, which adds a sense of introspection to the piece. She is adorned in a simple yet elegant dress, typical of the period, and the gold necklace she wears is a focal point that suggests a sense of familial pride and affection. The necklace, likely a cherished possession, adds a touch of warmth and personal significance to the portrait.

Prior's technique in this painting is indicative of his broader oeuvre, where he often employed a flat, linear style with minimal shading, which was common among self-taught artists of his time. The background is plain and unadorned, ensuring that the viewer's attention remains firmly on the subject. This stylistic choice not only highlights the girl's features but also imbues the portrait with a timeless quality.

"Portrait of a Young Girl with a Gold Necklace" is a testament to William Matthew Prior's skill in capturing the human spirit through his art. His works are an important part of American folk art history, offering insights into the lives and aesthetics of the 19th-century United States. This painting, like many of Prior's works, continues to be appreciated for its historical value and its ability to convey the universal themes of innocence and familial love.
