# Portrait of a Lady Holding a Rose [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SLINGELAND, Pieter Cornelisz. van]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 20 x 17 cm ## Commentary This small panel was probably made in the 1670s, when Slingeland executed most of his delicate, genre-like portraits. It depicts in great detail a young woman standing in half-length and in three-quarter profile, with her head turned to the left, facing the viewer. In her right hand the lady holds a single pink rosebud; her left arm rests gracefully on a stone balustrade. The painting is a betrothal or marriage portrait and in 1773 had a pendant, a portrait of a man with a statue of Mercury. ## Related artworks - [A Tailor's Workshop]() - [Breakfast of a Young Man]() - [Johan Hulshout]() - [Johannes van Musschenbroeck and His Wife]() - [Lady with a Pet Dog]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [The Violist]() - [Woman by Candlelight]() - [Woman with Pet Dog]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
