Portrait of a woman 1801

This portrait of an unknown woman, painted in 1801 by Danish artist Jens Juel, depicts a young woman with a serene expression and soft features, characteristic of the Neoclassical style. The woman is dressed in a simple white gown, accented by a flowing orange shawl, reflecting the ideals of classical simplicity and elegance prevalent in the period. Juel, who was a prolific portraitist, captures a sense of intimacy and grace, making this a poignant example of his work.
