Basic Information
Historical Context
A full-length standing portrait of a woman executed in grisaille (monochrome), created during Dürer's Netherlands journey in 1521. [Visual Identification] Visual Description A woman stands full-length against a neutral background, rendered entirely in grey tones (grisaille). She wears the dress of the early sixteenth century with elaborate headgear. The monochrome technique gives the figure a sculptural quality. Artistic Analysis The grisaille technique is rare in Dürer's portraiture, suggesting this may have been a preparatory study for a tomb sculpture or decorative scheme.
