Portrait of Marie Friederike Caroline von Geispigheim c. 1745 - 1755

This anonymous portrait of Marie Friederike Caroline von Geispigheim dates back to the mid-18th century and is currently housed at the Städel Museum. The painting depicts a young woman with her hair styled in a fashionable updo adorned with a jeweled ornament and a feather. Her clothing is also indicative of the Rococo period, with delicate lace trimming a low-cut bodice. The artist's skillful rendering of her features and the soft, elegant lighting contribute to a sense of refined grace.
