Woman with a Mandolin is a 1750 oil by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, depicting Lute, held at Detroit Institute of Arts.
This painting shows a woman sitting with a mandolin in her lap. She is wearing a white dress with a blue sash and has a yellow scarf in her hair. The woman is looking at the viewer with a gentle expression. Her right hand is holding the mandolin, and her left hand is placed on her lap. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman stand out. The woman's pose and expression suggest that she is lost in thought, perhaps thinking about the music she is about to play.
