About the piece

Painted in 1640 by Govert Flinck, a talented pupil of Rembrandt, this portrait depicts a young girl in formal Dutch attire. She wears a luminous white dress adorned with heavy gold chains and a floral headdress, standing beside an intricate wooden high chair. Flinck’s mastery of the 'fine painting' style is evident in the delicate rendering of the child's soft features and the tactile quality of her silken skirts against the atmospheric dark background.
