Angelica Kauffmann

National Gallery of Art

The portrait depicts the upper half of a woman's body. She is posed facing slightly to the side, with her head tilted and gaze averted. The woman has soft facial features, fair skin, rosy cheeks, and a subtle smile. Her brown curly hair is styled with volume on top and falls over her shoulder, and she wears a dark headband. She is dressed in a light gown with intricate details, set against a softly painted sky background with light clouds.
