Painting

Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman standing in a three-quarter view. She is facing forward with a slight turn of her head to the right. She has delicate facial features and a calm expression. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo with flowers. She wears a draped garment, exposing her shoulders and chest. She holds a painter's palette in her left hand and her right hand rests on her chest. Behind her is a statue of a nude male figure on a pedestal, holding a staff and draped with a cloth. The background shows a softly sketched landscape with foliage and a stream.
