Portrait of a Lady c. 1800

This painting, "Portrait of a Lady" by Louis Léopold Boilly, is a fine example of Neoclassical portraiture from the early 19th century. The sitter is depicted in a simple, elegant white dress with a delicate gold chain, and her face is rendered with striking realism, capturing the details of her features, including her intricate hair style. Boilly, a French painter active during the late 18th and early 19th century, specialized in portraits and genre scenes.
