Description: | This half-length portrait of an unidentified lady is associated with the Dutch artist Peter Lely, who spent most of his highly successful career in London. The sitter's pose, the style of her low-neckline dress, her pearls, and face, framed with long golden ringlets, suggest a mid- to late seventeenth-century date. The quality of the facial features in this portrait might suggest that it was painted by Lely himself, although perhaps the sitter's garments and the background were finished by an assistant, as was usual workshop practice. | Subjects: | figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lely, Peter (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1618-1680, active in England) and studio Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8541... | Go to resource |
