Portrait of Laura Dianti (dead 1573) and a Young Page is a 1674 oil by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting shows a woman and a young boy. The woman is wearing a blue dress with a gold shawl and a crown on her head. She has dark hair and is looking at the viewer. The boy is wearing a striped shirt and is looking up at the woman. The woman's dress is very fancy, with puffy sleeves and a big bow at her waist. The boy's shirt is colorful, with red, yellow, and green stripes. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the woman and the boy stand out. The painting is an example of the technique called chiaroscuro, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume.
