About this work

This portrait shows a woman in a red dress with a white collar and a black headpiece. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and she wears several rings. The background is dark, which makes her stand out. The woman's face is serious, and her eyes seem to look right at you. Her dress has a pattern on it, and the sleeves are big and puffy. The rings on her fingers are shiny and catch the light. If you like this painting, you might also want to learn more about the artist, Jean Clouet.
