## Commentary

In the present painting an elegant woman looks toward the viewer, leaning over a balustrade, partly covered by an exotic carpet. In her left hand she holds a luxuriously decorated hand mirror; her right hand is opened toward the viewer, hanging over a balustrade. In front of her stands an opened jewelry box. The Italianate landscape in the background features a large house on the left, mostly hidden behind trees. In the distance a country house is situated on the banks of a lake, behind it rise mountains.
