Portrait of a Lady

David Teniers II, 1610–1690

York Art Gallery, York

In this full-length portrait of a lady, the lady stands between a table, on top of which rests a plumed hat, and an open window. This painting was part of a collection of 117 works belonging to the industrialist and engineer F.D. Lycett Green and bequeathed to York through the Art Fund, in 1955, in recognition of the remarkable efforts made after the Second World War by its curator to transform it into a gallery of international importance.
