A Lady Seen from Behind is a 1705 oil by Luca Carlevarijs, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In the painting, a woman is shown from behind, dressed in a long, red cloak that drapes elegantly over her shoulders and down her back. Her dark, striped dress is visible beneath the cloak, and she wears shoes that match the color of the dress. The background of the painting is a warm, earthy brown. The woman's posture and the folds of her clothing suggest a sense of movement, as if she is turning or walking away from the viewer. The artist's use of color and texture adds depth and dimension to the scene. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the concept of chiaroscuro, which is used to create a sense of volume and depth in the painting.
Luca Carlevarijs or Carlevaris (20 January 1663 – 12 February 1730) was an Italian painter and engraver working mainly in Venice.
