Naisen muotokuva is a 1690 unspecified by Jan Weenix, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A woman in a dark red dress with white lace stands in the painting. She holds a white cloth in one hand and rests the other on a table covered with flowers and small statues. The background is shadowy, with a faint glimpse of a room and a monkey curled up in the corner. The flowers on the table include white blooms and red roses, adding a touch of color to the scene. The woman’s dress is detailed with lace trim, and her hair is styled neatly. This painting uses chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with light and shadow.
