"Portrait of a Lady, Bust-Length, Holding an Apple and Wearing a Loose Shawl" is a notable work by the Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffman (1741–1807). As one of the most prominent female artists of the 18th century, Kauffman gained recognition for her portraiture, historical subjects, and ability to infuse her works with a sense of grace and sensitivity. This particular portrait is a testament to her skill in capturing the elegance and refined demeanor of her subjects.

The painting depicts an unidentified lady, shown from the bust up, holding an apple in her right hand, a symbol that has been interpreted in various ways, from representing the biblical Eve to suggesting the classical myth of the Judgement of Paris. The subject is adorned with a loose shawl, a common fashion of the period, which adds to the genteel and relaxed atmosphere of the portrait. Kauffman's use of soft, harmonious colors and delicate brushwork emphasizes the sitter's femininity and the genteel qualities expected of women in the 18th century.

Kauffman was a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London and enjoyed a successful career in England and on the Continent. Her works were widely sought after by patrons, and she was known for her ability to blend the intellectual rigor of the neoclassical style with a more accessible and appealing approach to her subjects. "Portrait of a Lady, Bust-Length, Holding an Apple and Wearing a Loose Shawl" is a fine example of her portraiture work, showcasing her talent for combining intimacy with idealization.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and historical context, reflecting the role of women artists in the 18th century and the evolution of female portraiture during the period. As with many of Kauffman's portraits, this work is appreciated for its contribution to the understanding of the social and artistic milieu of the time, as well as for its aesthetic qualities and the skill of its creator.
