Portrait of a Lady 1650 - 1681

Frans van Mieris's "Portrait of a Lady" (1650-1681) depicts a young woman in a white dress and red shawl, set against a dark background. The painting is a prime example of the Dutch Golden Age, known for its realistic portrayal of everyday life and its meticulous detail. The artist's attention to texture, particularly in the fabric of the woman's clothing, is evident in the small, intimate scale of the work. The painting is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
