Portrait of a Lady 1766 - 1831

"Portrait of a Lady" is a miniature painting on ivory by French artist François Dumont, created between 1766 and 1831. The painting depicts a woman in a white dress with a fur-trimmed jacket, holding a small object in her hands. This intimate portrait showcases Dumont's skill in capturing fine details and capturing the elegance of the sitter in a small format. The work is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. This miniature painting is a testament to the popularity of the genre during the 18th and 19th centuries, where small, portable artworks allowed for a more personal and intimate connection with the subject.
