By Eugênia Gorini Esmeraldo
The picture Portrait of a Lady shows a young woman of delicate facial features, with short brown hair, and enigmatic smile, by a lake on a summer evening. The tranquil lake is bounded by a mountain, on the left, and buildings and vegetation to the right, possibly a town or village. A mountain is discernible in the background.
