About the piece
This mid-17th-century oil portrait depicts Lovisa Charlotta, Princess of Brandenburg and Duchess of Courland. Dressed in a somber yet richly detailed black gown, her figure is illuminated by a striking white lace collar and a double strand of pearls, reflecting the formal courtly fashion of the Swedish and German nobility of the era. The dark, atmospheric background emphasizes the sitter's dignified expression and the intricate craftsmanship of her attire.
