About the piece

This 1770 portrait by a Viennese artist captures Countess Henrieta Erdödy in a moment of quiet dignity. The work is characterized by the rich, velvet-like textures of her deep red mantle and the soft, diffused light illuminating her powdered hair and refined features, epitomizing the late Baroque portraiture style.
