A half-length portrait of an elegant lady wearing a fur trimmed cape and lace bonnet, holding cherries with a parrot on her sleeve. The identity of the sitter is unknown, but it is likely that she was of Austrian origin and high social standing as the artist spent much of his career painting at the imperial court in Vienna.
