Portrait of Anna Hyde, Duchess of York

The first wife of James II of England, a lady of about 30 years, with blond hair, brown eyes and double chin, wearing a close-fitting, yellow-brown silk dress with wide sleeves and medium neckline; she is sitting turned to the left, with her right hand on her cheek; she rests her elbow on a marble vase, decorated with classical ornaments; her left hand also rests on the vase, from which a yellow-brown curtain is draped; the colours are cold, and the brushwork rather sketchy.
