Portrait of the Artist's Daughter Elisabeth, Married Lampe is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a woman in fancy 18th-century clothes, holding a small framed portrait in one hand and a wooden paintbox in the other. Behind her, a smaller picture of a child with a cap is visible. The woman’s dress is dark with ruffles, and her hair is styled high with curls. The background is plain and dark, keeping focus on her and the objects she’s holding. The paintbox suggests she might be an artist or connected to art. The smaller portrait inside the frame looks like a child, possibly her daughter. If you’re curious about how artists used light and shadow in portraits, look up *chiaroscuro*.
