Portrait of a Lady c. 1530

Titian’s *Portrait of a Lady* from around 1530, showcases the artist's mastery of oil painting, which is evident in the soft, subtle brushstrokes and rich, deep colors. The painting features a young woman dressed in a dark gown with a delicate white lace collar, her hand gently resting on her chest, emphasizing her elegance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the lady's features. Titian's ability to capture the sitter's individuality in this work contributed to his reputation as one of the most influential portraitists of the Renaissance.
