Born and trained in Milan, Appiani became the leading portrait painter in Lombardy after the French invasion of 1795. His patrons included numerous members of the pro-French faction, including the eminent lawyer and member of the Cisalpine Republic's legislative council, Francesco Reina (1770-1825). This portrait of Reina's wife probably dates from 1795-1800.
