Seated Woman

Ca. 1785. Oil on canvas.
Not on display

Seated Woman reflects the type of genre scene popular for cabinet paintings in the eighteenth century. Of small format and refined colour, it depicts an exquisitely dressed young woman, her heading resting on her hand and her eyes closed. Her languidness and the handkerchief on the vacant seat suggest she has been crying, possibly for her absent lover.
