Portrait of a Woman with a Man at a Casement 1435 - 1445

Filippo Lippi's "Portrait of a Woman with a Man at a Casement" (c. 1435-45) features a woman in a richly colored gown and a man peering through a window. The woman, possibly a member of the wealthy Medici family, is depicted in profile, her face illuminated by the natural light streaming through the window. This intimate portrait, a genre that Lippi helped popularize, highlights the beauty and refinement of the subject and showcases the artist's mastery of detail and realistic rendering.
