Rogier van der Weyden — Portrait of a Lady (c. 1460)

Rogier van der Weyden — Portrait of a Lady (c. 1460)

Painted around 1460, this portrait by Rogier van der Weyden depicts an unidentified woman, possibly a member of the Burgundian nobility. Her elaborate headdress, carefully arranged clothing, and restrained expression reflect the conventions of fifteenth-century Netherlandish portraiture.
