About the piece
Painted in 1759 by George van der Mijn, this charming oil portrait depicts Antoinette Metayer in a delicate lace-trimmed bonnet and a dark, draped cloak. The composition captures a quiet moment of companionship as she gazes down with a gentle smile at the small spaniel cradled in her arms. The work is a masterclass in mid-18th-century European portraiture, showcasing refined textures in the lace, silk, and soft animal fur.
