Bildnis einer Frau

Europäische Grafik 1260–1800, 2nd century

This painting shows the upper body of a person, focusing on their face and shoulders. The person is facing forward, looking directly at us. Their facial features include pale skin, large dark eyes, defined eyebrows, a straight nose, and a closed mouth with full, red lips. Their dark hair is styled on top of their head. The person is wearing a garment in shades of purple, with visible gold and white bands. Earrings with small dots of red and white hang from the ears. The painting is aged, with noticeable signs of wear and peeling occurring from the wood it was painted on, creating vertical lines and patches where the paint is no longer present.
