Portrait of a Florentine Lady 1620 - 1700

Justus Sustermans' "Portrait of a Florentine Lady" depicts a woman standing in a simple, elegant gown. Created between 1620 and 1700, the drawing showcases Sustermans' mastery of capturing the sitter's delicate features and graceful pose. The use of soft lines and subtle shading creates a sense of volume and depth, enhancing the realism of the portrait. This drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Sustermans' skill as a draftsman and a keen observer of human form.
