Portrait of a Lady is a 1750 oil by Nicolas de Largillière, a Rococo painting work, depicting Unidentified Woman, held at Pinacoteca di Brera.
The painting depicts a woman with curly white hair, adorned with red flowers. She wears a black dress featuring lace and floral embellishments, complemented by a pink fabric draped over her left arm. The background is a mix of dark and light brown hues, with some green tones visible. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The use of oil paint and the artist's attention to detail contribute to the overall sense of realism in the portrait. This painting is a fine example of Nicolas de Largillière's work.
