The Lady of Rochford

Robert Vaughan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person in a kneeling position. They are facing to the right with their hands together in a gesture of prayer. The person has delicate facial features, a calm expression, and eyes looking forward. Their hair is covered by a drape, resembling a headscarf or headdress. They wear an elaborately patterned gown with intricate details, including a large border featuring round shapes and floral motifs at the shoulders. The gown has a fur or feather-like texture at the bottom and flows down to a cushion. The background is plain, emphasizing the person's attire.
