Rachel, Countess of Middlesex

Pierre Lombard after Sir Anthony van Dyck

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman. She is seated with her upper body angled slightly to the left, with her right hand resting on a floral arrangement. Her face is turned towards the viewer, with a calm expression. Her hair is styled in curls, framing her face and falling on her shoulders. She is wearing an elegant gown with voluminous sleeves and a square neckline, adorned with a brooch and a chain around her waist. She has jewelry on, including earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet. The background features an ornate frame with intricate designs.
