About the piece

Painted in 1671 by Caesar van Everdingen, this portrait captures Elisabeth van Kessel with the characteristic precision of the Dutch Golden Age. The work is particularly noted for its masterful rendering of texture, from the crisp, translucent layers of the lace collar to the heavy, dark sheen of the sitter's dress, all set against a muted atmospheric background.
