Portrait of a Lady, Rogier van der Weyden, circa 1460

The composition is built from the geometric shapes that form the lines of the woman's veil, neckline, face and arms, and by the fall of the light that illuminates her face and headdress. The vivid contrasts of darkness and light enhance the almost unnatural beauty and gothic elegance of the model. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: circa 1460. Dimensions: height: 37 cm (14.5 in); width: 27 cm (10.6 in). Medium: oil on oak wood. Collection: National Gallery of Art. Lady by Rogier van der Weyden (Washington) detail 01
