The artwork, “PORTRAIT EINER JUNGEN DAME, EINE MASKE IN IHREN HÄNDEN HALTEND,” is a portrait by Rosalba Carriera, a renowned artist of the Rococo movement. This exquisite piece exemplifies the portrait genre, showcasing the intricate detailing and delicate brushwork characteristic of Carriera’s style.
In the artwork, a young lady is portrayed with graceful elegance, holding a mask in her hands. The lady is adorned in a soft, light-colored garment with elaborate frills and layers, exuding an air of sophistication and refined beauty. Her hair is styled neatly, framing her serene and composed expression. The background is dark, which accentuates the subject’s luminance and renders her the focal point of the composition. This portrait magnificently captures the Rococo era’s essence, with its lightness, elegance, and attention to aristocratic style and detail.
