"Portrait of a Lady, Half-Length, in a Red and White Dress, a Dark Red Wrap and Pearl Earrings, a Letter in Her Left Hand, Leaning on a Stone Ledge" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Samuel van Hoogstraten. This painting, dating from the 17th century, exemplifies the artist's skill in portraiture and his adeptness at capturing the nuanced expressions and social status of his subjects. Van Hoogstraten, a student of the famed Rembrandt van Rijn, was known for his diverse artistic repertoire, which included genre scenes, portraits, and trompe-l'œil still lifes, as well as for his theoretical contributions to the understanding of perspective.

The portrait in question features an unidentified woman dressed in the fashion of the period, her attire and accessories suggesting a status of wealth and refinement. The red and white dress, coupled with the dark red wrap and the lustrous pearl earrings, are rendered with meticulous attention to texture and color, showcasing van Hoogstraten's ability to depict different materials and the interplay of light on their surfaces. The inclusion of a letter in the woman's hand adds a narrative element to the work, inviting speculation about the contents of the correspondence and the thoughts occupying the sitter.

Leaning on a stone ledge, the subject engages directly with the viewer, a compositional choice that creates an intimate connection and adds to the psychological depth of the portrait. The precise date of the painting's creation is not documented, but it is consistent with the stylistic characteristics of van Hoogstraten's work during the height of his career.

Today, this painting is considered an important example of Dutch portraiture from the Golden Age, reflecting the era's social customs, fashion, and the high level of craftsmanship achieved by artists like van Hoogstraten. It contributes to the understanding of the period's artistic conventions and the personal expressions captured by portraitists of the time.
