A woman in mid-18th century dress

About this work

This painting shows a woman in a pale yellow dress with a wide, ruffled skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a black bow at her neck. The dress has a loose, flowing style with soft folds, and her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders. The artist used watercolor, which gives the painting a loose, sketchy look. The background is dark, making the woman stand out. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
