This painting shows a woman in a lavish dress, standing on a rug with a dog at her feet. The dress is red with white and gold accents, and the woman wears a large, frilly collar and a necklace. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she looks straight ahead. The woman's dress is intricately patterned, with gold and white stripes and flowers. The rug she stands on has a yellow and red pattern, and the dog at her feet is brown. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman and her dress stand out. This painting is a portrait of Mary Kytson, Lady Darcy of Chiche, later Lady Rivers, and you can learn more about it at the Tate Britain.
