"Portrait of a Woman, Bust-Length, Holding a Musical Score" is a celebrated 18th-century pastel artwork by Rosalba Carriera, an Italian artist renowned for her contribution to the Rococo movement and her pioneering role in popularizing pastel as a serious medium for portrait painting. This artwork is emblematic of Carriera's delicate and refined style, showcasing her adeptness at capturing the nuanced expressions and genteel elegance of her subjects. The portrait features an unidentified woman, depicted from the bust up, who gently holds a musical score, a detail that not only hints at the sitter's cultural engagement but also serves as a testament to the era's appreciation for music as an essential aspect of genteel and intellectual refinement.

Rosalba Carriera (1673–1757), born in Venice, was a trailblazer in her field, achieving international fame and recognition within her lifetime. Her work was highly sought after by the European aristocracy, and she became a member of the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris, a rare honor for a woman at the time. "Portrait of a Woman, Bust-Length, Holding a Musical Score" is representative of Carriera's skill in using pastel to achieve a soft, luminous effect that captures the texture of skin and fabrics with remarkable realism and sensitivity. The subject's attire and the inclusion of a musical score reflect the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century Europe, where music was an integral part of social gatherings and personal accomplishment, especially among women of the upper classes.

This artwork not only exemplifies Carriera's mastery over the pastel medium but also provides insight into the social and cultural contexts of the time, including the role of women in the arts and society. Through her work, Carriera contributed to the elevation of pastel from a sketching tool to a respected medium in its own right, challenging the dominance of oil painting. "Portrait of a Woman, Bust-Length, Holding a Musical Score" remains a significant piece within Carriera's oeuvre, reflecting the elegance, sophistication, and intimate charm characteristic of her portraits.
