Anthony van Dyck's "Portrait of a Lady" (1638-1640) depicts a woman in a white dress and a rose-colored shawl, her hand gently reaching towards a rose bush. The portrait, currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases van Dyck's signature style, characterized by a soft, painterly technique and elegant compositions. The rich detail in the woman's attire and the realistic portrayal of the flowers suggest a focus on capturing the beauty and sophistication of the sitter.
