Portrait of a Lady

Britische Malerei 1657–1778, ca. 1770/1775

The image depicts a woman seated, facing slightly to the side with her gaze directed towards the viewer. She has soft, delicate skin and a calm expression. Her hair is styled in an updo with loose curls. She is wearing a blue dress with white lace, puffed sleeves, and a golden-orange shawl draped across her chest. She is holding an open book, with one hand resting on a surface. The chair has a red fabric with subtle patterns, and the background is a dark, warm-toned wall.
