Portrait of a Lady in Mourning is a 1552 oil by Jacopo Tintoretto, a Mannerism work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting depicts a woman dressed in black, with a white collar and a black veil covering her head. She stands against a plain background, her right arm resting on a ledge or table, while her left arm hangs down, holding a rosary. The woman's face is turned slightly to her right, and her expression is somber. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the woman's face and hands emerging from the shadows. The painting is a portrait of a lady in mourning, and it is held at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
