Portrait of a Woman

Portrait of a Woman, a painting by Michael Dahl (1696-1743), is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The artwork measures 1.314 meters in width and 1.962 meters in height.

The painting depicts a woman seated, wearing a gold-colored gown with white sleeves and a teal-colored cloak draped over her shoulders. She holds a small sprig of white flowers in her hands. The woman is elegantly dressed and has a calm, composed expression. She is seated on what appears to be a stone bench or ledge, with a basket of flowers to her right. A small greyhound sits at her feet. The background features a classical-style architectural element, a glimpse of a landscape with trees and a building in the distance, and a dark, somewhat moody sky.
