Dameportræt is a 1751 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman in a fancy dress, standing against a dark background. She wears a light blue robe with lace trim and a white wig styled high. A red sash and a small brooch pin her outfit together. The gold frame has ornate scrollwork and looks heavy and old. The photo is labeled as a "Dameportræt," which means it’s a portrait of a lady. The soft lighting and gentle colors give it a dreamy feel, typical of the time it was made. Check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create mood in photos like this.
