About the piece

Attributed to an English painter around 1690, this striking oil portrait captures a seated lady with poise and elegance. She is dressed in a luxurious ochre gown with delicate lace trim, draped in a deep blue wrap that contrasts beautifully with the large, tasseled red curtain behind her. The masterful use of light highlights the tactile qualities of the fabrics and the soft, refined features of the subject.
