Drawing | Portrait of an Elegant Lady Wearing Pearls and a Feathered Headdress – After a Seventeenth-Century Dutch Master – Watercolour on Paper – ca 20th Century, 1 p.
A finely executed portrait of an elegant young woman in elaborate seventeenth-century dress, inspired by the portraiture of the Dutch Golden Age.
The sitter is depicted half-length, facing the viewer with a gentle, confident expression. Her abundant, carefully arranged curls are adorned with a pearl-studded headband, a tall black feather and a small jewel. She wears pearl drop earrings and a matching necklace, while a richly decorated gown with a low neckline, delicate lace and gold embroidery completes her fashionable appearance.
One hand rests gracefully against her chest, drawing attention to the finely painted fingers and the luxurious fabric of her dress.
The artist employs a restrained palette of warm browns, soft greys, ivory and gold. Particular attention has been paid to the delicate modelling of the face, the lustre of the pearls and the intricate details of the costume.
Drawing on paper, 220 x 175 mm. Watercolour drawing.
