About the piece

Painted around 1620 by Cornelis de Vos, this portrait depicts Barbara Kegeleers in a state of prayer, accompanied by her patron saint, Barbara. The work showcases the artist's hallmark ability to render delicate lace ruffs and the subtle sheen of dark silk against a somber, atmospheric background, reflecting the dignity and piety of the Flemish Golden Age.
