Note:
|
According to the National Gallery site: "Although idealized, this richly dressed woman must represent one of the wealthy Armenian families in the capital Isfahan. She wears a fine silver-ground brocaded robe with a sleeveless velvet coat, probably Italian in origin, and holds an elaborate Venetian wineglass. Her imaginary setting is equally grand, with Italian marble floors, an ornate column, and an extravagant vase, confirming Armenian familiarity with Western settings and accouterments."
