Head and shoulder portrait of a lady 17th century

This anonymous 17th century watercolor depicts a young woman in a yellow dress, with a pearl necklace and an elaborate hairstyle. The artist skillfully captured the sitter’s delicate features, rendered with a soft, muted palette. The subtle brushstrokes and washes create a sense of intimacy and realism, characteristic of portraiture during this period. The artwork, which measures 246 mm (height) x 191 mm (width), is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
