Portrait of a Noblewoman, Sebastiano Ceccarini, circa 1750 (Baroque)

Turning her gaze towards the spectator with one hand resting on her hip, this noblewoman has a stately, matronly appearance that is intended to express personal discipline and dignity. Her lavish costume-with a scarf tied to her hair, a brocade dress set with pearls and a feather, and jeweled pendants-communicates her social status, as does the column, suggestive of a palatial setting, a compositional device developed during the 16th century to communicate aristocratic status. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: circa 1750 (Baroque). Place of creation: Rome, Italy. Dimensions: Painted surface height: 95.7 cm (37.6 in); width: 72.2 cm (28.4 in).
