Jacopo Amigoni

Artist, Italian, 1675 - 1752

The image shows an illustration of a woman seated from the waist up. Her body is slightly turned to the side with her head facing forward. Her facial features are stylized with faint outlines, and her hair is styled in a neat, rounded bun. She is wearing a dress with voluminous sleeves and a flowing skirt, shown through the use of fluid lines and shading. She holds an indeterminate object in her hand. The background is minimal, with basic shading and line work forming an abstract, muted setting that adds depth to the composition.
