About the piece
Attributed to Paulus Bor circa 1650, this painting depicts the mythological figure Cydippe at the moment of her accidental vow. The work is distinguished by its serene atmosphere, masterful rendering of fabric textures, and the striking contrast of her deep blue cloak against the warm, neutral tones of the classical setting.
