Portrait of a Lady in a Costume of c.1530 is a 1522 oil by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a woman in a costume from around 1530. She is wearing a hat, a necklace, and a dress with a striped top and a yellow skirt. Her sleeves are yellow with red and gold accents. The background is black. The woman's expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed to the right. She is adorned with a large necklace and a hat that adds to her elegant appearance. The level of detail in her clothing and accessories suggests a high level of craftsmanship. The use of oil paint and the attention to detail in the woman's costume make this painting a great example of Renaissance art.
