Description: | This lady's dress suggest that she was portrayed in the first half of the eighteenth century. The white lace shirt and stiff pointed bodice are typical of the fashions of the time. The cape is both a piece of clothing for the sitter and a way for the artist to add a dash of colour, texture and fill part of the canvas. The lady's hair would have been powdered with starch, whilst the rose she holds is probably a symbol of love, and of a love which is pure. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Unknown Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8943... | Go to resource |
