Portrait of a Lady

John Robinson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a case with a portrait of a lady. The case is rectangular and divided into two parts. The left side is covered in dark green velvet. The right side contains a portrait. The portrait is of a woman with dark hair pulled up into a bun. She is wearing a white lace collar and a dark vest or bodice over a white sleeve. The sleeve has blue and gold embroidery. The woman's face is pale with light rosy cheeks. The background of the portrait is a pink wall with a red curtain on the left and a view of a landscape on the right. The case appears to be old and worn, with a green border around the portrait and velvet. The case has a brown edge. The case appears to be open.
