Portrait of a Lady beside a Rose Bush

Wallerant Vaillant

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman with soft facial features, fair complexion, arched eyebrows, and full lips. She has tightly curled hair cascading over her shoulders. She wears an off-the-shoulder gown fastened with a brooch and jewelry. Her arm reaches towards a large urn filled with flowers. The background includes a draped curtain and an outdoor scene with foliage and cloudy sky.
