DescriptionDescription: This portrait of Françoise Leijoncrona was painted by Michael Dahl, who was active in London. She is dressed in a blue gown with soft, wide sleeves and is playing the lute in a dark wooded landscape. Her hair is loosely gathered, as English fashions prescribed. The sitter is sensitively portrayed and seems immersed in her music, her eyes half-closed.
