Study for a Portrait of a Woman
Artist: Sir Peter Lely (Pieter van der Faes) (Dutch, 1618–1680)
Original Dimensions: 26 1/2" x 21 1/8"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1670s) "This sketch provides a good example of Lely’s working method as one of the most successful portraitists in England in the second half of the seventeenth century. Following the example of Anthony van Dyck, Lely painted only the sitter’s head in his or her presence, sometimes laying in an outline for the pose and costume. He then employed assistants to complete the drapery and background. For certain well-known sitters, Lely would retain his original head study to aid in the production of replicas. Because Lely assimilated his female sitters to a contemporary ideal of beauty, it can often be difficult to identify them today, as is the case with this unknown woman." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
