Portrait of a Lady

Britische Malerei 1657–1778, circa 1715/1730, perhaps close to 1725

The image shows a woman seated, angled slightly to the left, with her right arm resting on a surface and her left hand on her lap. She has a composed expression with light-colored eyes and fair skin. Her hair is light brown, styled smoothly. She wears a deep blue gown with billowing sleeves trimmed with white lace. The neckline is slightly open, revealing a white chemise. The background is dark, contrasting with the subject. The woman appears dignified, without any visible jewelry.
