"Lady Dacre" is a portrait painting by the Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck, known for his elegant and refined portraiture. Van Dyck was a leading figure in the development of Baroque art, particularly in England, where he served as court painter to King Charles I. The painting depicts Lady Dacre, a prominent figure in English society, dressed in a rich black gown and holding a single pink rose, symbolizing beauty and grace. The composition is simple yet striking, with Lady Dacre positioned against a neutral background that allows her to stand out.
