PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG NOBLEWOMAN
Oil on canvas.
117 x 82 cm.
In a magnificent, open-worked gilded frame.
Half-length portrait of a young lady against a neutral background. She is leaning with her forearms on a cushion resting on a console and holding a rose in front of her chest. She is dressed in a light blue embroidered silk dress over a white undergarment decorated with rich lace. Her pinned-up hair is held in place by a flower and is lightly powdered. Apart from a brooch on her sleeve, she wears no jewelry. She therefore appears to be a fairly young lady, whose portrait may have been an engagement gift to a future husband, which could also be indicated by the rose as the flower of love. The large, representative format and the magnificent frame indicate the young lady's high origins. (1402082) (10)
