Rogier van der Weyden, (artist), Netherlandish, 1399/1400 - 1464, Portrait of a Lady, c. 1460, oil on panel, painted surface: 34 x 25.5 cm (13 3/8 x 10 1/16 in.), overall (panel): 37 x 27 cm (14 9/16 x 10 5/8 in.), framed: 60.9 x 53.3 x 11.4 cm (24 x 21 x 4 1/2 in.), This painting is an outstanding example of the abstract elegance characteristic of Rogier's late portraits. Although the identity of the sitter is unknown, her air of selfconscious dignity suggests that she is a member of the nobility. Her costume and severely plucked eyebrows and hairline are typical of those favored by highly placed ladies of the Burgundian court..
