About the piece
Painted around 1665 by Eglon van der Neer, this work exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's mastery of light and texture. The artist painstakingly renders the sheen of the woman's white satin bodice and the intricate embroidery of her red skirt as she moves through a grand, darkened room, accompanied by a small playful spaniel at her feet.
