Portret van een aan een tafel zittende dame is a 1796 unspecified by Willem Uppink, a Biedermeier work, depicting Woman, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
The painting shows a woman in a dark dress with a white collar, sitting at a table. She is holding a book and a pair of glasses. The room is dimly lit, with a dark wall behind her. The woman's face is serious, and her eyes are looking straight ahead. The book and glasses suggest that she may be reading or studying. The dark colors and simple composition give the painting a quiet, introspective feel. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and hands. This technique was often used in Dutch Golden Age paintings to create a sense of drama and tension.
