About the piece

Dating to approximately 1775, this European oil painting captures a dignified lady of the late 18th century. The subject is rendered with attentive detail, from her silver earrings and hair ornaments to the intricate white lace bordering her deep teal gown. The dark, atmospheric background characteristic of the period focuses the viewer's attention on the sitter's calm expression and the rich textures of her garments.
