Portrait of Elisabetta Piavani Ghidotti is a 1720 unspecified by Fra Galgario, a Rococo painting work, held at Accademia Carrara.
This portrait depicts a woman in an elaborate dress, with a blue shawl draped over her left shoulder and arm. The dress is gold with a floral pattern and features a white lace bodice and ruffled sleeves. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a serious expression. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the woman's face and hands illuminated against a darker background.
