Rosalba Carriera was one of the most successful woman artists of her generation . Her pastel portraits in delicate and subtly blended colours attracted an international clientele and were particularly popular among English , French and German travelers . This portrait was probably executed in Venice , but the sitter may have been a foreign visitor to the city .
