Lady in 17th century costume is a 1791 watercolor by Henry Fuseli, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a woman wearing a 17th-century-style dress. The dress is white with a brown cape, and the woman has a big, frilly hat on her head. The background is dark, and there's a shadow behind the woman. It looks like she's standing in front of a wall or something. The painting is done in watercolor, which makes it look a bit soft and dreamy. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of other Romanticism artists.
A watercolour sketch from 1791 by Fuseli portrays a woman dressed in 17th-century attire. The work is dated, situating it within the late 18th century.
