From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Portrait of a Lady is a 1750 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a woman with light skin and a pale, powdered wig. She’s dressed in a dark, high-necked gown with lace at the wrist and chest. Her face is serious, with a slight smile and steady eyes. The dark background makes her face stand out sharply, giving it a three-dimensional look. This is a classic way to draw attention to the person’s expression. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
