"A Young Woman from Quito Dressed for Public Life" is an important art work by Vicente Albán, an 18th-century artist from Ecuador whose paintings primarily depicted the daily life, customs, and racial diversity within colonial Quito (now Ecuador).

The painting, believed to have been completed between 1783 and 1784, vividly portrays the socioeconomic stratification and racial hierarchy in the colonial period. It represents an affluent mestiza woman - a lady of mixed Spanish and Amerindian descent. She is elegantly dressed, showcasing her wealth and status in society.

The intricate details of her attire, comprising elaborate embroidery and expensive textiles, accentuate the opulence of the upper echelons of Quitenian society. Yet, the painting goes beyond mere depiction of affluence; it subtly highlights the mestizo identity's complexity and the shifting cultural dynamics during the colonial era.

As one of six in a series by Albán dedicated to the racial classification ('Casta' system), "A Young Woman from Quito Dressed for Public Life" is held in particular esteem for its stylistic finesse and for Albán’s ability to embed historical and social nuances within visual representation. Today, the painting resides in the Brooklyn Museum, preserved as a significant testament to Quitenian history and colonial racial taxonomy.
