Portret damy is a 1800 oil by Kazimierz Wojniakowski, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting is an oval portrait of a woman. She is wearing a red dress with a black trim and a white headscarf. The background is a mottled brown color. The woman's face is turned slightly to the right, and her eyes are cast downward. Her hair is curly and brown, and she has a small, delicate nose and lips. She is wearing a white turtleneck under her dress, and a black belt around her waist. The overall effect is one of quiet elegance and refinement. The painting is done in oil paint, and the brushstrokes are smooth and subtle. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
