Griselda is a 1840 oil by Charles Robert Leslie, a Realism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting is a portrait of a woman with long, dark hair and a white dress. She is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background of the painting is a solid, dark color that helps the subject stand out. The woman's dress is painted in loose brushstrokes, giving it a soft, flowing appearance. The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the painting.
