Portrait of a Moravian Woman

Pieter Pietersz the Younger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a woman wearing an ornate dress with a red and gold pattern, and a red shawl draped over her shoulders. She has dark hair pulled back under a crown-like headpiece with a white feather on top. Her dress features a high neckline with a ruffled collar. She holds a piece of fabric in her left hand and rests her right hand on a table. The table has a yellow tablecloth and a white dog stands on it. The background includes a green curtain and a stone floor with a checkered pattern. The painting is framed in black with gold accents.
