About the piece

This 1624 masterpiece by Cornelis de Vos showcases the artist's virtuosity in rendering textures, from the gossamer transparency of the fan-shaped lace collar to the heavy, patterned silk of the girl's gown. Seated at a virginal, the young subject looks toward the viewer with a gentle expression, embodying the refinement and dignity of the Flemish Golden Age.
