About the piece
Painted around 1825 by an unknown Central European artist, this portrait captures a lady of status in a moment of quiet repose. Dressed in a fashionable black silk gown with white lace trim, she holds a pair of lorgnettes, while a small dog sits faithfully by her side on a plush red armchair. The warm, dark background highlights the sitter's gentle expression and the fine details of her jewelry and period attire.
