Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599 - 1641)

Tate Collection

Three-quarter length portrait of Lady Killigrew waring a bright russet-red dress and holding two peonies. Appears to have been conceived as a pair to 'Sir William Killigrew' by Van Dyck which is also in the Tate collection. Both paintings have the sitters' hands positioned at the same low level, and have finely painted landscapes in the background.
