About the piece

Painted in 1706 by Martin Mytens, this elegant portrait depicts a lady in a rich, shimmering red gown engrossed in her music. Seated on a terrace with a lute by her side and a brooding landscape beyond, the composition captures the sophisticated grace and cultural refinement of the early 18th-century European elite.
