"Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, with a Red and Green Mantel, a White Chemise and a Pearl Clasp" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Godfried Schalcken. Renowned for his mastery in the use of light and shadow, Schalcken's portraiture often reflects a meticulous attention to detail and a keen interest in the interplay between illumination and texture. This particular painting exemplifies Schalcken's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of his subject's expression and attire, set against a dark, ambiguous background that serves to highlight the figure.

The portrait features an unidentified lady, depicted from the waist up, who commands the viewer's attention with her direct gaze and the rich, vibrant colors of her clothing. The red and green mantel she wears is indicative of the fashion of the period and suggests a status of wealth or nobility, while the white chemise provides a stark contrast to the darker tones of the mantel and the background. The pearl clasp, a focal point of the composition, not only serves as a symbol of the sitter's elegance and refinement but also demonstrates Schalcken's ability to render different textures and reflective surfaces.

Godfried Schalcken (1643–1706) was a pupil of Gerrit Dou and later, Samuel van Hoogstraten, and became well-known for his genre scenes and candlelit subjects. However, his portraits such as this one are equally significant for their contribution to the understanding of Dutch portraiture in the late 17th century. The painting is a testament to the artist's talent in portraiture, showcasing his adeptness at creating lifelike representations imbued with psychological depth.

While the exact date of creation for this work is not specified, it is likely to have been produced during Schalcken's mature period, when he had fully developed his characteristic style. The painting is an important piece within Schalcken's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's approach to portraiture and the broader context of Dutch portraiture at the time. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the period and in the evolution of European portraiture.
