This painting shows a young woman with red hair, dressed in a light-colored top and a red shawl. The background is dark, and the woman is framed by a gold oval. The portrait is painted in oil on canvas. The woman's gaze is directed to the right, and her hair is styled in an updo. The red shawl adds a pop of color to the otherwise muted palette. The gold frame is ornate, with intricate details that add to the overall sense of luxury. The painting is held at the Nationalmuseum, where you can explore more works by the artist, Jørgen Roed.
