Portrait of a Woman 1790 - 1800

This miniature portrait by Anthonie Joseph Helant, dated between 1790 and 1800, depicts a woman with a powdered wig and a white gown. Helant was a Dutch painter known for his portrait miniatures, which were often commissioned by wealthy patrons. The delicate detail and intricate brushwork are characteristic of the artist's style, and the oval format of the artwork was popular during the late 18th century. The woman's elegant attire and serene expression suggest she was likely from a high social class.
