The first sentence is correct:
The author revealed that her main goal was to “paint a vivid picture of the life of an immigrant in New York City.”
Explanation: the quotation is a continuation of the sentence (not an independent sentence), so it starts with a lowercase letter and, in American punctuation, the period goes inside the closing quotation mark.
