DYCK, Sir Anthony van: Portrait of a Lady

🖼 Portrait of a Lady, 1634-35
Oil on canvas
140 × 107 cm
Milan, Italy

Soft brushwork captures an elegantly dressed woman in three-quarter view, her delicate features and luminous skin rendered with Van Dyck's characteristic refinement. The intimate psychological presence and aristocratic grace exemplify Flemish Baroque portraiture's dominance in seventeenth-century European courts.
