Portrait of a Lady

Possibly British 18th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a portrait of a woman with fair complexion, featuring a distinctive nose and a subtle smile. She has light-colored, neatly styled hair with a ribbon or band. The woman wears a golden-yellow gown with white lace trim and a pink ribbon on her bodice. There is a hint of blue fabric near her waist, and she wears an earring on her left ear. The background is dark, focusing on the woman in the foreground.
