About the piece
Created in 1777 by an unknown Slovak master, this oil on canvas portrait exemplifies late 18th-century fashion and social status. The subject is adorned with intricate pearl jewelry and a towering powdered wig, set against a deep background that highlights the vibrant teal and red palette of her damask gown. A heraldic crest in the upper corner emphasizes the sitter's noble lineage.
