About the piece

Attributed to an 18th-century Viennese painter, this oil on canvas captures a woman with rosy cheeks and soft curls. The striking blue ribbon in her hair and sash at her waist provide a vivid contrast to her pale gown and the moody, dark background, characteristic of late 18th-century European portraiture.
