Brystbillede af kvinde is a 1694 oil by Jacques d'Agar, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a woman with long, dark hair and a white dress. Her right hand is raised, and she is looking to the left. The background is dark, and the overall mood is somber. A notable detail is the way the light falls on the subject's face and hand, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. This effect is achieved through the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark.
