Eduard Friedrich Leybold (1798 - 1879) PORTRAIT OF A LADY

Eduard Friedrich Leybold was a painter who worked mainly in Germany and Austria. The portrait is an example of the refined taste of the Biedermeier period, the lady has a typical festive hairstyle and a richly pleated dress with a lace bodice. The blue cloudy sky forms a dynamic color counterpart to the scarlet silk, accentuating the portrait lady's clothing and hairstyle.
