This beautiful portrait of a lady in a landscape is datable to later in Dahl's career. His Baroque manner has evolved into a more geometric style, and the pose is constructed on sharp angles demarked by the set of the arms. The landscape follows this cooler more restrained emotional key, resembling nature more truly than the Italianate arcadias of his portraits in previous centuries.
