Portrait of a Lady 1705 - 1746

"Portrait of a Lady" is an oil painting by Jacob Heinrich Helbigk, dating from 1705-1746, which is currently on display at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. The painting depicts a woman in a dark dress with a white collar and a black necklace. The woman’s face is slightly obscured by a dark cloak, making the painting seem both formal and mysterious. It is a classic example of portraiture from the Baroque era, capturing the likeness of an unknown woman with subtle realism and a focus on her elegant attire.
