About the piece

Painted around 1635 by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, this portrait depicts Lady Hester Bowyer with remarkable precision. The artist's skill is evident in the luminous rendering of her skin and the intricate detail of the broad lace collar, which contrasts beautifully against her dark gown and the atmospheric background.
