"Portrait of a Lady, Seated Small Three-Quarter-Length, in a White Dress and Blue Scarf, by a Red Curtain" is a 17th-century oil painting by Jacob Huysmans, a Flemish Baroque artist who worked predominantly in England. The artwork exemplifies Huysmans' portraiture style, which was influenced by his time in Antwerp and his exposure to the works of Anthony van Dyck. The painting captures an unidentified woman posed in a three-quarter-length seated position, which was a common format for portraiture of the time, allowing for a detailed depiction of the sitter's attire and demeanor.

The subject of the painting is dressed in a white dress, a fashion statement of the era, which is complemented by a blue scarf, adding a touch of color and elegance to the composition. The red curtain in the background serves not only as a rich chromatic contrast but also as a symbol of status, often used in portraiture to suggest the sitter's wealth and social standing. Huysmans' skillful use of light and shadow brings a sense of depth and volume to the figure, while his attention to the textures of fabrics and materials showcases his technical ability.

Jacob Huysmans, a Catholic and a native of Antwerp, moved to England around 1660, where he became a rival to Sir Peter Lely, the leading court portraitist. Huysmans' works were particularly favored by the Catholic aristocracy, and his portraits are notable for their sumptuousness and the often relaxed elegance of the sitters. The "Portrait of a Lady, Seated Small Three-Quarter-Length, in a White Dress and Blue Scarf, by a Red Curtain" is a fine example of his contribution to British portraiture and provides insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of Restoration England.

This painting is part of Huysmans' oeuvre that reflects the transition from the rigid formality of earlier English portraiture to a more intimate and naturalistic representation of the subject. While the identity of the lady in the portrait is not known, the work remains an important piece for the study of fashion, society, and portraiture of the 17th century. It is also significant for understanding the influence of Flemish artists on English art during a period when cultural exchange was shaping the visual arts across Europe.
