About the piece
Painted in 1745 by Ján Gottlieb Kramer, this oil portrait depicts Anna Maria Desséwffy in elaborate aristocratic attire, including a dark lace-trimmed bodice, a sheer white shawl, and multiple strands of pearls. The inclusion of a family coat of arms and her hand resting on a small book underscores her status and education, reflecting the formal conventions of Central European portraiture from the Baroque-Rococo transition.
