About the piece
This 1697 portrait by David Richter the Younger captures a woman with a gentle, contemplative expression. Dressed in a rich red bodice and draped in a cool-toned shawl, the subject is rendered with the luminous skin tones and refined detail characteristic of late Baroque portraiture. The composition uses a painted oval to focus attention on the figure's face and elegant attire.
