Portret de femeie is a 1655 by Albert Jacobsz Cuyp, a Baroque work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman with a serious expression. She’s dressed in a dark cloak over a light collar, with a black bow at her neck. Her hair is pulled back under a dark hat, and the background is plain and dark. The date "1655" is written in the corner, showing this was made over 350 years ago. The style looks simple but careful, with soft shadows on her face. Look up Baroque next to see more paintings from this time period.
