Beautiful portrait of a young woman in a park painted by HEINRICH FRIEDRICH FÜGER (1751-1818) considered to be the most important Austrian painters.

The woman wears a white dress with a pointed neckline and a red shawl.

A typical Füger work in which the dotted line is clearly distinguishable. This technique, which is a characteristic of him for painting the background, is called the "water drop technique".

His works are kept in the most important museums and private collections.
