"Portrait de Dame" is a notable work by Lavinia Fontana (1552–1614), an Italian painter who is regarded as the first female career artist in Western Europe. As a pioneering female artist, Fontana's work is significant for its quality and the barriers she broke in a male-dominated field. Born in Bologna, she was trained by her father Prospero Fontana, who was a prominent painter of the School of Bologna.

The painting "Portrait de Dame" is an example of Fontana's skill in portraiture, which was one of her specialties alongside historical and religious subjects. Her portraits often depicted noblewomen and are characterized by their intricate detail, rich color palette, and the subtle rendering of textures in fabrics and jewels, which attest to the wealth and status of her subjects. Fontana's portraits are also noted for their psychological depth and the dignified representation of her sitters.

"Portrait de Dame" is emblematic of Fontana's ability to capture the elegance and grace of the women of her time. The artwork typically features a female subject, dressed in the fashion of the late 16th or early 17th century, with attention to the textures of her clothing and accessories, which were often rendered with a high degree of realism. The identity of the woman in the portrait is not always known, as is the case with many portraits of the era, which can sometimes make it difficult to ascertain the historical and social context of the work.

As with many of Fontana's paintings, "Portrait de Dame" would have been commissioned by the subject or her family, reflecting the artist's status as a sought-after portraitist in Bologna and later in Rome, where she moved in 1603. Fontana's work was well-received during her lifetime, and she was recognized by her contemporaries for her contributions to the art world, which was a significant achievement for a woman at the time.

The exact date of "Portrait de Dame" is not always clear, as is common with works from this period that were not always dated or documented. However, it is generally believed to have been painted during the height of Fontana's career, when she had established herself as a professional artist with a distinct style and clientele.

Today, Lavinia Fontana's "Portrait de Dame" is considered an important work in the study of female artists of the Renaissance and the role of women in the arts. It is also an example of the portraiture genre of the period, offering insights into the fashion, culture, and society of late 16th-century Italy. The painting is housed in a collection or museum that preserves and exhibits Fontana's work, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of her contributions to art history.
