About the piece
This 1744 oil portrait by Ephraim Hochhauser depicts Anna Zmeškalová-Meerwaldtová in the elegant fashion of the mid-18th century. The sitter is presented with a serene expression, holding a delicate pink rose that contrasts beautifully with her elaborate, gold-embroidered gown and fine lace ruffles. The work exemplifies the formal dignity and painterly precision of Central European portraiture during the period.
