Portrait of a lady, possibly Isabella of Austria, Queen of Denmark (1501-1526), half-length, in a black dress with red velvet slashed sleeves and a diadem, her hands resting on an open illuminated book of hours on a marble ledge, with Saint Elisabeth of Hungary (c.1520). Flemish School. Oil on panel.
The saint’s hands differ from the smooth, idealised hands and face of the seated figure. The seated figure is evenly lit, while the flesh-tones of the saint shine with enhanced highlights, creating a more sculptural effect.
