An accomplished early 19th century Biedermeier portrait of a refined lady with a direct and confident gaze. She wears a lace bonnet trimmed with blue silk ribbons and a matching lace shawl, which she lightly holds in one hand. The gesture draws attention to the gold wedding band on her finger, a subtle indication of her married status and wealth. The sitter is placed before an idealised landscape of low mountains and a river, painted in the classical style commonly found in portraiture of the period. Signed indistinctly and dated to the lower left. Beautifully presented in a decorative gilt frame. On canvas on stretchers.
