The Artist Painting a Lady's Portrait is a 1740 oil by Pietro Longhi, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a man sitting at an easel, painting a portrait of a woman. He wears a black hat and coat, and the woman is dressed in a long, white gown. The room is dimly lit, with a small table and chair in the background. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he captures the woman's expression and the folds of her clothing. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Ireland, where you can see more works by Pietro Longhi.
Pietro Longhi was a Venetian painter of contemporary genre scenes of life.
